Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Choy KT, Hartslief M. Large intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma managed by laparoscopic partial excision and modified drain with no need for open resection. BMJ Case Rep. 2019 Aug 21;12(8):e229227. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2019-229227. PMID: 31439566; PMCID: PMC6720738. | Journal: | BMJ Case Reports | Abstract: | A 57-year-old woman was referred to the emergency department after a CT scan ordered by her general practitioner to investigate her abdominal pain showed a large cystic mass. The simple cystic appearance with its location in the small bowel mesentery prompted a provisional diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma. However, concerns regarding the size, location and local involvement of neurovascular structures presented a technical surgical challenge. Here we present a case of minimally invasive laparoscopic drainage using a modified Jackson-Pratt drain that avoided a laparotomy and open resection. | Description: | Cairns & Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) affiliated authors: Kay Tai Choy, Merve Hartslief | DOI: | 10.1136/bcr-2019-229227 | Keywords: | gastrointestinal surgery;radiology | Type: | Article |
