Lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors that result from lymphatic vessel malformations and/or obstructions commonly on the neck and armpits, being rare in the retroperitoneal space. We report a case of a healthy 25-month-old male with a six-month history of abdominal distension and recurrent episodes of diarrhea who was clinically diagnosed with giardiasis. The complementary evaluation showed a cystic formation occupying the whole abdominal cavity and implanted at the abdominal retroactivity.

Cystic lymphangioma (CL) is a rare benign tumor of the lymphatic system, most commonly found in the neck, head, and armpits. The incidence of lymphangiomas in the abdominal cavity is less than 5%, and the incidence of retroperitoneal tumors is even lower. We report here a case of recurrent giant CL that recurred 20 years after the first complete surgical resection.

Article Synopsis
  • Lymphangiomas are rare, benign tumors linked mainly to congenital issues with lymphatic channels, with retroperitoneal types being particularly uncommon.
  • A 42-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain and was found to have a mass and uterine myoma, leading to surgical removal of both.
  • Proper diagnosis often requires histological examination despite CT scans helping with initial identification, and complete removal can lead to a cure, highlighting the importance of considering lymphangiomas in ovarian cyst diagnoses.

Article Synopsis
  • Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare tumors in newborns that can complicate the diagnosis of abdominal masses, especially in cases like Down syndrome which is linked to increased cancer risk.
  • A neonate with Down syndrome was found to have a cystic lesion near the left kidney during an ultrasound for poor feeding, leading to further investigation that suggested various potential tumors.
  • After surgical removal of the cyst, it was confirmed as a mature cystic teratoma, and the child had a successful recovery and is doing well a year later.
