[Cavernous lymphangioma of the liver. A report of 2 cases and review of the literature].
The authors report 2 cases of hepatic lymphangioma observed in a 54-year-old woman, and in a 39-year-old man. These tumors were discovered upon ultrasound examination performed for jaundice due to viral hepatitis, and for abdominal right upper quadrant pain respectively. Computed tomography and angiography showed hypervascularized tumors. Diagnosis was established through surgical biopsy specimens. The clinical course was uneventful, during respectively the 9- and 3-year follow-up periods, respectively. From these and the 40 previously reported cases, the authors describe the different features of this unusual tumor.
