JIMENEZ-CANIZALES, Carlos Eduardo et al. Splenic lymphangiomatosis in an adult patient: Case report. Acta méd. Peru [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.4, pp.392-395.  Epub Jan 06, 2023. ISSN 1728-5917.  http://dx.doi.org/10.35663/amp.2022.394.2451.

Lymphangiomas are benign malformations of the lymphatic system. They most often affect children and rarely adults. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with a 6-month clinical picture of diffuse abdominal pain without peritoneal irritation associated with adynamia. As part of the studies, a computerized axial tomography with abdominal contrast was requested, which revealed multiple hypovascular hypodense splenic lesions with suspected diagnosis of lymphoproliferative lesions. For this reason, a diagnostic splenectomy was requested, which showed macroscopic, microscopic and immunohistochemical findings (positivity of cystic lesions for CD31 and D2-40) compatible with diffuse splenic lymphagiomatosis

Keywords : Anomalies; Benign Neoplasm; Lymphangioma; Splenic Neoplasms.
