ABSTRACT
Cystic lymphangioma of the spleen is extremely rare disease and the treatment is always surgical. In the present report we describe a symptomatic splenic cystic lymphangioma in a 44 year-old female. Clinical examination revealed palpable mass in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. Abdominal CT scan revealed enlarged spleen with multiple, variable sized cysts. A few cysts had peripheral calcification. Open splenectomy was performed and histologic examination permitted the accurate diagnosis to be made. In case of multiple cystic enlargement of spleen, consider the possibility of cystic lymphangioma of the spleen and splenectomy.
