title: Intra-abdominal lymphangioma--clinicopathological profile of a rare lesion.
abstract: Lymphangioma occurring in an intra-abdominal location is reported to be extremely rare. A series of 5 cases is presented and the differential diagnoses and diagnostic features discussed. None of the cases were diagnosed as lymphangioma clinically. It is suggested that their true incidence may be unknown due to both silent clinical course as well as lack of awareness of clinical and morphological features.
