Presentamos una paciente de 41 años diagnosticada de linfangioma quístico gigante en cuerpo-cola pancreático con aumento progresivo en el último año, de 20 cm de diámetro, como hallazgo incidental ecográfico. Se realiza punción-aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF), con resultado de lesión quística benigna. Ante el aumento de tamaño, se decide intervención quirúrgica. Se objetiva una tumoración quística retroperitoneal dependiente de cara posterior pancreática y se realiza resección completa laparoscópica hasta cápsula pancreática con preservación de páncreas y bazo. En la descripción anatomopatológica se confirma el diagnóstico de linfangioma quístico benigno. No se produjeron incidencias durante el postoperatorio inmediato y la paciente fue dada de alta al quinto día. Tras un año de seguimiento, la paciente permanece asintomática.
A giant cystic lymphangioma in the pancreatic body-tail was diagnosed as an incidental ultrasound mass in a 41-year-old patient, with a progressive size that had increased in the last year by about 20 cm size. An ultrasound guided fine needle puncture was performed and the result was a benign cystic lesion. Given the increase in size, a surgical intervention was decided. A retroperitoneal cystic tumor dependent on the posterior pancreatic wall was identified and a full laparoscopic resection with pancreas and spleen preservation was performed. The pathological report confirmed the diagnosis of benign cystic lymphangioma. The patient was discharged on the fifth postoperative day without any remarkable complications. After one year of follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic.
