Abstract

Introduction: Cystic lymphangioma is a benign and usually congenital malformation of the lymphatic vessels. We present the case of rare cystic lymphangioma both for its inguinal location (less than 2% of all lymphangiomas) and for its late debut in adults (50% are congenital and up to 90% are diagnosed before the age of two). Clinical case: This is a 50-year-old woman with a soft, mobile mass in the right inguinal region that cannot be reduced and does not protrude with Valsalva manoeuvres. Abdominal ultrasound is requested, in which an oval formation of a cystic nature is observed. An exeresis is performed confirming the anatomopathological diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma. Discussion: The lymphangioma usually produces symptoms by compression of neighboring structures or by complication of the same one. The standard gold for the diagnosis is the ultrasound, although the definitive diagnosis is anatomopathological. Complete excision is recommended because of the risk of recurrence.
