Summary: Cystic lymphangioma is a rare and benign malformation of the lymphatic system, with retroperitoneal location accounting for only 1% of all lymphangiomas. Clinical presentation is frequently nonspecific. Authors present a case report of a 38 years old woman with persistent abdominal pain refractory to treatment that required imaging investigation (abdominal ultrasound and thoraco-abdominopelvic computed tomography scan) unveiling a cystic retroperitoneal mass suggesting lymphangioma. Abdominal laparotomy was performed for complete excision of the tumor. Histopathological exam of surgical specimen confirmed the cystic lymphangioma diagnosis. Complete surgical excision is considered gold-standard therapy and allow definite diagnosis.

A sua apresentação clínica é frequentemente inespecífica. Os autores relatam o caso de uma mulher de 38 anos de idade com dor abdominal persistente e refratária à terapêutica médica, que por esse motivo realizou exames de imagem (ecografia abdominal e tomografia computadorizada toraco-abdomino- pélvica) que revelou uma imagem retroperitoneal de natureza cística, sugestiva de linfangioma. Foi proposta laparotomia para excisão completa da lesão. O exame histopatológico da peça operatória confirmou o diagnóstico de linfangioma cístico. A excisão cirúrgica completa é considerada a terapêutica de eleição, para além de permitir o diagnóstico definitivo.Sociedade Portuguesa de Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular2021-06-03T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48750/acv.380oai:ojs.acvjournal.com:article/380Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular; Vol. 17 No. 1 (2021): March; 43-46Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular; Vol. 17 N.º 1 (2021): Março; 43-462183-00961646-706Xreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttp://acvjournal.com/index.php/acv/article/view/380https://doi.org/10.48750/acv.380http://acvjournal.com/index.php/acv/article/view/380/233Copyright (c) 2021 Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascularinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVieira, IsabelDias, EmanuelBorges, LisaHenrique, AlbertoOliveira, NelsonCássio, Isabel2022-05-23T15:10:12Zoai:ojs.acvjournal.com:article/380Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:00:16.228864Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
