Complete Information on Abdominal cystic lymphangioma with Treatment and Prevention

POSTED BY admin on May 2, 2008 under Uncategorized

The clinical symptoms are variable. Chronic symptoms include chronic abdominal pain and progressive abdominal distension.

Cystic lymphangioma is a rare tumour, frequently situated in the cervical or axillary region and exceptionally intraabdominal. It is essentially a malformation of one of the abdominal lymph vessels where a portion is dilated and form a lymph fluid-filled cyst. Abdominal lymphangiomas are more common in boys and usually occur in childhood. It arises due to a congenital defect in the connection of the primary lymphatic channels with the central collecting system. It presents clinically either in the form of a pseudo-appendix or pseudo-ascites syndrome or in the form of an abdominal tumour with or without compression of adjacent structures.
