RESUMO
Splenic cystic lymphangioma is a very rare benign neoplasia characterized by cystic dilation of the lymphatic vessels of the splenic parenchyima. It may occur in the spleen only or in multiple organs. We describe the case of a 46 year-old female, with he diagnosis of splenic cystic lymphangioma. Its clinical manifestations include abdominal pain, especially in left upper quadrant pain, abdominal distension, loss of appetite. Physical examination showed no specific findings. Ultrasonography and CT scann imaging showed multiple cysts replacing the normal parenchyma of the spleen. We report herein the surgical significance of lymphangioma of the spleen from both diagnostic and also therapeutic aspects, and we discuss laparoscopic splenectomy as an effective procedure for an excision of a splenic tumor suspected to be benign. .Histologic study after splenectomy confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the spleen.

Existen pocos informes de bazo intrapancreático accesorio y algunos asociados a quistes epiteliales. Suelen cursar asintomáticos y confundirse con tumores neuroendocrinos no funcionantes o adenocarcinoma de páncreas, debido a su características radiológicos y a la inespecifidad de los síntomas. Nosotros reportamos un paciente de sexo masculino que se documentó una lesión de 3 cm en la cola del páncreas en la T.A.C. de abdomen y posteriormente confirmada por la R.M.N. Se llevó a cabo una pancreatectomía distal sin esplenectomía. El diagnóstico definitivo de patología fue un bazo intrapanacreático accesorio.
There are fews reports of intrapancreatic accessory spleen and some refer epithelial cysts. Most of these lesions are asymptomatic and my be misdiagnosed as a non-functioning neuroendocrine tumor or pancreas adenocarcinoma, due to their radiological characteristic and lack of symptomatology. We reported one male patient with a 3 cm lesion in the tail of the pancreas on computed tomography scan and later confirmed with RMN. A pancreatectomy distal without splenectomy performed. The final pathological diagnosis eas a intrapancreatic accessory spleen.
