BACKGROUND: Cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumours and their actual incidence in the colon is unclear. Within the large bowel, these lesions are often submucosal and are incidental findings on colonoscopy.
CASE REPORT: A 43-year-old man with colonic lymphangioma presented with a 7-month history of abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Computed tomography showed a cystic mass lesion at the distal descending colon. Colonoscopy revealed a smooth, polypoid mass, initially thought as an inverting diverticulum. He underwent laparoscopic high anterior resection. The pathological analysis revealed the descending colon mass to be a lymphangioma with no evidence of diverticulosis.
CONCLUSION: There is increasing incidence in lymphangioma due to the increasing accessibility to colonoscopy, particularly for asymptomatic or subacute disease. Although colonoscopic excision, sclerotherapy and use of steroids or fibrin glue have been advocated as possible modes of treatment, surgical excision is still considered to be the treatment of choice.
