ABSTRACT
Cystic lymphangioma are rarely observed in the abdomen. Their incidence varies between 2 and 10% of all localisations. The diagnosis is based on histopathological exam but can be suspected by radiology. Laparoscopic removal of the cyst is possible offering many adantages. We report the case of abdominal cystic lymphangioma occurring in women respectively 60, 65 and 68 years aged. Abdominal pain was the main symptom. Diagnosis was suspected before surgery in two cases thanks to the radiological findings. In these two patients, the cyst was removed under laparoscopic surgery. The third patient was operated by laparotomy. The diagnosis was established on histopathological study. With a mean follow up of 36 months, there were no signs of recurrence
