title: A further case of submucosal lymphangioma of the duodenum diagnosed during endoscopy.
abstract: Submucosal lymphangiomas are benign tumors which rarely occur in the gastrointestinal tract. The current report describes the tenth case of a submucosal cavernous-cystic lymphangioma of the duodenum. The diagnosis was made during endoscopy and was confirmed histologically in a biopsy specimen. Following a brief review of the localization and symptoms of submucosal lymphangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract published thus far in the literature, therapeutic considerations are discussed.
