Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there were only 10 reports of this tumor of the pancreas until March 2018. Case Report: Here, we reported a large invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas in a young woman with a complaint of abdominal distension and an epigastric mass about 3 weeks. She was found to have a huge multilocular cystic tumor at the neck and body of pancreas on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the pancreas after operation. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: From our case and literature, we can conclude that hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is uncommon benign tumor, and it is hard to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Radical surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. The prognosis of this disease seems good.

Serous cystadenoma of the pancreas are rare tumors and have little or no malignant potential.We report our experience in the management of eight casses of these tumors in the last 22 years. All the patients were women with a mean age of 59 years. All the cysts caused symptoms. Ultrasound and CTscan were useful in the diagnosis of the pancreatic cystic tumor out not in determining the nature of these lesions clear. FNA-biopsy was performed in 6 cases but in only one c se was the diagnosis confirmed. All tumors were resected. Four radical pancreatoduodenectomies, two distal pancreatectomies and two cystectomies were performed. Mean followup was 83.5 months. All patients are alive and with no signs of recurrence. Complications include an external pancreatic fistula, an acute cholangitis and a case of delayed gastric emptying. In all cases the histological diagnosis was serous cystadenoma of the pancreas. We conclude that resection of these tumors is mandatory although they are supposed to be benign, in order to avoid complications and because malignant transformations has been related to nonresective treatment.

Introduction Mesenteric lymphagioma is a rare, benign, congenital cystic tumor of the lymphatic vessels, which occurs in 2-5% of cases at the abdominal level (75% cervical, 20% axillary), which occurs more frequently during the childhood. It occurs with an incidence of 1: 250,000 during childhood (60% cases before one year of age), the ratio of women to men is 2: 1. They are located mainly in the subperitoneal space, in the mesentery (59% - 68%), omentum (20% - 27%) and retroperitoneum (12% - 14%). This should be suspected as a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen and pediatric abdominal masses. Its complete excision with negative microscopic margins is the treatment of choice, either by conventional means by exploratory laparotomy or by other less invasive techniques such as laparoscopy. Case description A 6-year-old boy presented with abdominal pain and peritonism. Physical exam: positive rebound sign. Paraclinical: leukocytosis, neutrophilia. Ultrasound shows abundant free fluid in the abdomen and pelvis. Patient undergoes an exploratory laparotomy, finding a multicystic mass dependent on the greater omentum, a sample of peritoneal fluid is taken for cytochemical, bacteriological, culture and histopathology. Complete excision of the cyst plus partial omentectomy and incidental appendectomy is performed. Patient with favorable evolution tolerates diet at 24 hours with progression from liquid to soft, undergoes antibiotic treatment for 48 days based on cefazolin (suspended due to negative culture at 48 hours and negative BARR), with hospital discharge on the fourth day. Result of fibrin-filled peritoneal fluid, transudate and negative histopathology for malignancy. Histopathology report: Macroscopic: irregular tissue fragment measuring 10 x 6 cm, greyish-yellow, cystic areas measuring 1.5 and 4 cm; When cut, it drains mucinous material, the rest of the irregular yellowish areas. Microscopic: fibrofatty tissue with congestive vessels and mixed inflammatory infiltrate (lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear cells), compatible with cystic lymphagioma (Fig. 3). Immunohistochemistry positive for marker D 2-40. Patient with follow-up at 7 days; In months 1, 3, 6 and year with favorable evolution, a control ultrasound was performed at the sixth month and at one year without evidence of recurrence. Conclusion: Mesenteric cystic lymphagioma can present with symptoms of acute abdomen. Complete resection is the treatment of choice, minimally invasive procedures are currently performed with favorable results in children, ultrasound is sufficient for long-term follow-up.
