A huge omental lymphangioma with extension into labia majorae: a case report.
BACKGROUND
Abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital benign tumors.


METHODS
We present a case of a 4 year old female child with a cystic lymphangioma arising from greater omentum and occupying whole of the abdomen and protruding through labia mejora. Ultrasonography and CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. Complete excision of the cyst along with omentectomy done with no clinical or radiological evidence of recurrence till 6 months.


CONCLUSIONS
Due to variable presentation of abdominal lymphangiomas, extensive imaging studies are necessary for evaluation and diagnosis. Complete surgical resection is a treatment of choice.
