ABSTRACT
Hemolymphangioma is a malformation of both lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. Splenic hemolymphangioma is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of 62-year-old woman with ambiguous upper quadrant abdominal pain for two months who was found to have an occupying lesion in the spleen on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the spleen. The patient underwent total splenectomy. Neither symptoms nor recurrence was found during the one-year follow-up period.

Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst is a rare pancreatic lesion of undetermined pathogenesis, which is a true pancreatic cyst. Castleman's disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, and a mesenteric location is unusual. The simultaneous occurrence of the two diseases are rarer than metachronous ones and has not been reported to date. We present a case report of a patient with simultaneous occurrence of pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst and duodenal mesenteric Castleman's disease.
