[Cystic lymphangioma of the lesser omentum].
BACKGROUND
Cystic lymphangiomas of the abdomen are rare tumors. These tumors are discovered fortuitously or during a complication.


METHODS
In a 5 year-old child, examined in an emergency because of suspected appendicitis, two cystic lymphangiomas of the small omentum were discovered, one measuring 10 cm and the other 7 cm and attached to the first with posterior extension in the lesser sac of the peritoneum.


CONCLUSIONS
The majority of abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are discovered in the early years of life. There are two major revelation lodes: a tumoral syndrome with pain or a complication (torsion, infection, rupture). The treatment is surgical with excellent prognosis.
