Abstract

Lymphangioma is a benign malformation of lymphatic vessels usually found in the head and neck areas or axilla. They may involve visceral organs with a lower percentage. Splenic lymphangioma is a rare tumor. This disease is often seen in children but may be diagnosed incidentally in adults. Most patients are asymptomatic, but in large and multifocal lesions, the patient may have some nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Physical examination may show no specific findings or detect palpable masses. The preoperative diagnosis of splenic lymphangioma is challenging. Histopathological evaluation and sometimes immunohistochemistry tests can result in a definitive diagnosis. In this study, we present an 18-year-old man, with Burkitt's lymphoma who underwent laparotomy and total splenectomy as a result of cystic lesions discovered accidentally during imaging with the final diagnosis of splenic lymphangioma after histopathological evaluation.

模拟淋巴瘤累及的脾淋巴管瘤1例并文献复习。
淋巴管瘤是一种良性的淋巴管畸形,常见于头颈部或腋窝。它们可能涉及比例较低的内脏器官。脾淋巴管瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤。这种疾病常见于儿童,但也可能在成人中偶然诊断出来。大多数患者无症状,但在大面积和多灶性病变中,患者可能有一些非特异性症状,如腹痛、腹胀、恶心、呕吐和食欲不振。体格检查可能没有特别的发现或发现可触及的肿块。脾淋巴管瘤的术前诊断具有挑战性。组织病理学评估和有时免疫组织化学测试可导致明确的诊断。在这项研究中,我们报告了一名18岁的伯基特淋巴瘤患者,由于在影像学中意外发现囊性病变,接受了剖腹手术和全脾切除术,经组织病理学评估后最终诊断为脾淋巴管瘤。
