[Combined approach of laparoscopy and mini-laparotomy for surgery of a voluminous pancreatic cystic lymphangioma].
Cystic lymphangioma is a rare disease of lymphatic system; in particular, pancreatic cystic lymphangioma is an unusual localization. A correct differential diagnosis with more common glandular lesions allows to plan a proper therapeutic approach. The Authors report the observed last case, a lesion in the head of the pancreas laparoscopically treated, and discuss this uncommon disease.
