RESUMEN
Objetivo: Comentar los aspectos más relevantes y revisar la literatura de esta patología tan poco frecuente. Material y métodos: Presentamos dos casos de linfangioma o higroma quístico, comentando la clínica, diagnóstico, tratamiento y la evolución de éstos y, revisando la literatura actual. El primer caso es el de un joven diagnosticado de linfangioma pélvico y escrotal. El segundo es el de un paciente con linfangioma quístico retroperitoneal. Discusión: El linfangioma quístico es una malformación congénita hamartomatosa del sistema linfático que suele aparecer en la infancia a modo de grandes masas a nivel de partes blandas, con tendencia a crecer, a no ser que se extirpen de forma completa. Conclusión: Son pocos los casos descritos de higroma quístico escrotal, muchas veces diagnosticados erróneamente, como otras patologías quísticas escrotales, lo que comporta indicaciones quirúrgicas erróneas y cirugías incompletas que predisponen a la recidiva posterior. El higroma quístico retroperitoneal aislado es una patología infrecuente diagnosticada a menudo de forma incidental
ABSTRACT
Objective: To comment on the most relevant aspects and to review the literature on this unusual pathology. Material and Methods: We present two cases of cystic lymphangioma, their clinical, diagnosis, therapy and development, and we review the actual literature. The first case is a young man with the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the scrotum and pelvis. The second case is one patient with a cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneum. Discussion: Cystic lymphangioma is a congenital lymphatic hamartoma of the lymphatic system that usually appears at childhood like a big mass at soft tissues that has a tendency to grow unless a completed excision is performed. Conclusions: There are few cases of scrotal cystic lymphangioma in the literature; they are often misdiagnosed as other common cystic scrotal conditions leading to an improper surgical approach and an incomplete surgery that predisposes later recurrence. Cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneum is a rare entity diagnosis in most cases as an incidentaloma
