A submucosal lymphatic cyst is a thin-walled cyst, lined by flattened lymphatic endothelium, containing thin serous fluid. It rarely causes clinical symptoms, and it is incidentally discovered during fiberoptic panendoscopy or radiologic study in most cases. It is an extremely rare benign tumor of the stomach; however, a submucosal lymphatic cyst should be considered if a pliable and benign submucosal lesion is detected during fiberoptic panendoscopy. We report a case of submucosal lymphatic cyst of the stomach which showed a typical clinical picture. This report is the first case of submucosal lymphatic cyst of the stomach in Korea to the best of our knowledge.

Lymphangioma is a benign tumor composed of numerous small or large thin-walled lymphatic spaces. It shows a predilection for head, neck, and axilla. Jejunal lymphangioma in children is extremely rare. We present a case of 13-year-old girl with jejuno-jejunal intussusception secondary to lymphangioma in jejunum. To our knowledge, this is the second report of jejunal lymphangioma causing intussusception in a child.

A 44-year-old woman underwent surgery for an asymptomatic primary tumor of the heart located in the right atrium. The tumor was detected incidentally during follow-up computed tomography for a resected breast cancer. The mass, lying along the lower portion of the right atrial septum, was homogenous and cystic in nature, as detected by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Complete resection was performed via a median sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful. However, the histological result was surprising: the mass was a cardiac lymphangioma.
