Sclerotherapy of Giant Abdominal Lymphangiomas in a Six-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Abdominal lymphangiomas are an uncommon form of congenital lymphatic malformation. We describe a case of a six-year-old male child who presented to our hospital with pain in the abdomen after an alleged history of minor trauma to the abdomen. On per abdomen examination there was a visible mass that was cystic on palpation. Abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging showed large multiloculated, septated intra-abdominal cystic structures. The patient underwent sclerotherapy with doxycycline and resolved completely after one session without complications. Doxycycline sclerotherapy is very effective and safe in treating macrocystic lymphatic malformations.
