Lymphangioma of the Stomach A case Report

Lymphangiomas are benign lymphatic tumours that may occur virtually at any anatomic locations. They are particularly uncommon in the abdomen. We are presenting here a case of a 30 years female who presented with a mass per abdomen of 3 months duration, with fever, chills and vomiting. USG and CT reported this case to be an infected pseudocyst of the pancreas with a differential diagnosis of a hydatid cyst and enteric duplication of the cyst. Excision of the sub-mucosal mass from the posterior wall of the stomach was done and it was histopathologically diagnosed as lymphangioma of the stomach. The case is being presented because of its rarity, with a brief review of the literature.
