Abstract

Although intra-abdominal lymphangioma and mesenteric cysts are rare benign tumours, they have to be considerated in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain. Differentiation of these lesions is important, because lymphangiomas may follow a proliferative and invasive course. From 1979 to 1993 four patients with intra-abdominal cystic lymphangiomas and two with mesenteric cysts underwent operations in our surgical department. Five of these six patients had abdominal symptoms, ranging from unspecific abdominal pain to acute clinical abdomen. In all cases surgical enucleation or resection and histological classification were necessary before final diagnosis was possible.

Zusammenfassung

Intraabdominelle Lymphangiome und Mesenterialzysten sind benigne zystische Tumoren, die, obwohl sie selten vorkommen, in der Differential-diagnose abdomineller Beschwerden berücksichtigt werden müssen. Vor allem aufgrund ihres unterschiedlichen biologischen Wachstumsverhaltens ist es wichtig, beide Läsionen voneinander abzugrenzen. In unserer Chirurgischen Klinik wurden zwischen 1979 und 1993 4 Patienten mit intraabdominellen zystischen Lymphangiomen und 2 Patienten mit Mesenterialzysten operiert. Von diesen 6 Patienten waren 5 klinisch auffällig. Die Symptomatik reichte von unspezifischen Abdominalbeschwerden bis zum akuten Abdomen. Die endgültige Diagnose konnte bei allen Patienten erst nach der Laparotomie und feingeweblicher Untersuchung der exzidierten Zysten gestellt werden.
