[Cystic lymphangiomas of the colon. Apropos of 2 cases]. / Les lymphangiomes kystiques du côlon. A propos de 2 observations.

The authors report about two observations of cystic lymphangioma of the right colon. The patients complained of intermittent abdominal pain. Preoperative diagnosis is based on endoscopic findings (2 cases) and computed tomography films (1 case). A colonic carcinoma is associated in one case. Endoscopic polypectomy will be curative for pedunculated or small lymphangiomas. In other cases segmental resection seems to be the treatment of choice.
