A hepatic lymphangioma is a rare benign neoplasm that is usually associated with systemic lymphangiomatosis. A solitary hepatic lymphangioma is extremely rare. Therefore, we present a rare case of a female patient who underwent right hepatectomy for solitary giant hepatic lymphangioma. A 42-year-old female presented to the emergency department with complaint of severe abdominal pain of the right upper quadrant. Abdominal computed tomography showed an approximately 23×30-cm sized, giant, relatively well-defined, homogenous cystic mass with few septa in the right liver (segments VII and VIII). The preoperative diagnosis was a giant hepatic cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. We performed right hepatectomy. The permanent histopathological report revealed cystic lymphangioma of the liver. Although the prognosis of solitary hepatic lymphangioma after surgical resection is favorable, recurrence has been reported in literature.

Article Synopsis
- Lymphangiomas are benign tumors usually found in children, but rare cases in adults, particularly in the colon, can lead to complications like intestinal blockage (intussusception).
- A 40-year-old woman experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception due to a cecal lymphangioma, leading to emergency surgery.
- During laparoscopic surgery, a cystic mass was found to be a non-malignant cecal lymphangioma; the patient recovered without complications and highlights the need to consider colonic intussusception in adult lymphangioma cases.

Objective: We aimed to analyze the clinical presentation, imaging, histopathology, and surgical management of pediatric intraabdominal cysts, which are relatively common but diverse lesions that pose diagnostic challenges.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pediatric intraabdominal cysts from 2010 to 2021 in a single tertiary center. We collected data on demographics, symptoms, radiological findings, surgical approaches, and histopathological diagnoses and compared them with the current literature.

Introduction: Incarcerated iatrogenic right diaphragm hernia stands as a rare occurrence. Swift diagnosis and timely management are imperative. This article presents a particularly uncommon case of a right diaphragmatic hernia resulting from a neglected defect following the resection of a diaphragmatic lymphangioma and sheds light on the pitfalls that may lead to such a post-operative event.

BACKGROUND Lymphangiomas are rare and benign malformations of the lymphatic system. The presentation of intra-abdominal lymphangiomas, especially from within the hepatoduodenal ligament, is rare in the adult population. In this report, we examine a lymphangioma within the hepatoduodenal ligament resulting in biliary obstruction.

Unlabelled: Cystic Lymphangiomas (CLs) are rare vascular anomalies of benign nature. The etiology remains a subject of controversy, but they are considered to arise due to anomalies that occur during the normal embryogenic developmental process of lymphatic vessels. They have an estimated incidence rate of merely 1 in every 20,000-250,000 individuals.
