H Stunell et al. Ir J Med Sci. 2009 Mar.

Abstract

Background: Lymphangiomas are rare tumours usually found in the paediatric population in extra abdominal sites.

Aim: To report on a patient with a hepatic lymphangioma.

Result: A 30-year-old woman presented with a 4-year history of right upper quadrant pain. Ultrasound and CT imaging demonstrated a cystic mass adjacent to the gallbladder. Histology of the resected specimen conferred a diagnosis of hepatic lymphangioma.

Conclusion: We present a case of hepatic lymphangioma together with a review of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies currently available.
