Multidetector-Row CT Findings of Gastric Cystic Lymphangioma: A Case Report

چکیده
phatic system which usually occurs in the skin and subcutaneous region of the head and axilla. However, a small portion of cystic lymphangiomas have been reported in various regions of the abdomen including the stomach, jejunum, colon, pancreas, and the mesentery (1-3). Among them, cystic lymphangiomas of the stomach are considered very rare. In effect, fewer than 50 cases have been reported in the English literature (4). The majority of these reports were related with endoscopic and surgical findings (1-4). To our knowledge, no report describes the findings of cystic lymphangioma of the stomach demonstrated by multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) using multiplanar reformation. Here, we report the MDCT findings of a patient diagnosed with cystic lymphangioma of the stomach. Case Report
