Resumen
MORENO-GONZALES, Manuel et al. Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma in a cirrhotic patient: A case report and review of the literature. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.2, pp.139-144. Epub 06-Jul-2023. ISSN 1022-5129. http://dx.doi.org/10.47892/rgp.2023.432.1505.
Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangiomas (RCL) are rare benign tumors of the lymphatic system. They account for less than 1% of all lymphangiomas. Surgical resection is the recommended treatment option; however, obtaining a pre-operative diagnosis is often difficult and, in most cases, the final diagnosis is only possible following histological assessment of the surgical specimen. This report describes a case of RCL in a 58-year-old female cirrhotic patient who presented to our center with dull aching abdominal pain and distension. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a RCL in a cirrhotic patient reported in the literature.
