[Hemolymphangioma of the pancreas]

Abstract

The authors report a case of hemo-lymphangioma from the body and the tail of the pancreas. Through a review of the literature, the histological, histogenetical and clinical features of this disease are recalled and the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities are considered. These are benign tumors and their treatment must be surgical and radical. Two operative attitudes are possible: the tumoral enucleation and the partial pancreatectomies.
