Cystic lymphangiomas of the colon

Abstract

We report a patient with cystic lymphangiomas diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected by partial polypectomy. A 42-year-old woman consulted a nearby physician because of a positive fecal occult blood test. Barium enema and colonoscopy revealed the presence of abnormalities. On March 11, 1997, she was admitted to our department for further evaluation and treatment. A barium enema examination revealed two protruding lesions in the transverse colon. Colonoscopy showed a teardrop-type mass in the left side of the transverse colon. The mass was cushion-sign positive, and its shape readily changed on respiration and with changes in body position. Another superficial smooth mass was found in the right side of the transverse colon. Ultrasonography of the colon confirmed the presence of a submucosal mass showing a cyst-like pattern. Cystic lymphangiomas were diagnosed and resected endoscopically. Histopathological examination revealed markedly dilated ducts consisting of a single layer of endothelial cells in the submucosa of the colon. The diagnosis was cystic lymphangioma.
