title: [Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas: clinical case and review of the literature].
abstract: Cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor that occurs more often in children with different localizations. Abdominal localization and its development may produce symptoms and clinical features of acute abdomen leading to problems in the differential diagnosis. The Authors report a rare case of pancreatic lymphangioma in a nine years old child resolved by surgical treatment. A review of the literature concerning problems of diagnosis and treatment is also presented.
