title: [Cystic lymphangiomas of the mesentery and the epiploon. About two cases].
abstract: Two cases of cystic lymphangiomas of the mesentery and the epiploon are hereby related. The authors underline the following points: first, the rarity of these tumors along with the absence of significant clinical features makes the differential diagnosis with ovary tumors a difficult task. Second, although abdominal ultra sonography, completed by CT scan, allows the hypothesis of lymphangioma, only histological examination will confirm the diagnosis. There is no other treatment but complete exeresis, with a good prognosis and exceptional recurrences.
