Abstract

Intraabdominal cystic lymphangioma is an uncommon lesion. It is usually found incidentally in patients presenting with an acute abdomen. Laparoscopic excision of intraabdominal cystic lymphangioma is an easy and safe procedure in children. We report one case of cystic lymphangioma in a 6-year-old female. The lesion was located on the left side of the transverse mesocolon. Laparocopic excision of the cyst was performed without complications.
