Abstract

THE HEPATIC LYMPHANGIOMA: ANOTHER BENIGN LIVER TUMOR TO KNOW

Sarra Bahja*, Hakima Abid, Yahya Mourabiti, Youssef Lamrani, Laila Chbani, Ibrahimi Sidi Adil, Mohammed El Abkari

ABSTRACT

Hepatic lymphangiomas are a category of benign tumors secondary to a malformation of the hepatic lymphatic system and usually coexist with other visceral lymphangiomas. They are extremely rare in adults and uncommon in children. The clinical presentation is very polymorphic, most often of accidental discovery. The differential diagnosis is essentially made with other liver tumors, especially malignant ones. The prognosis of hepatic lymphangioma is good and patients do not need additional treatment after surgical resection. We present through this work the clinical case of a 48-year-old female patient with no notable pathological ATCD who consulted for atypical hepatic pain. The radiological examination revealed a malignant hepatic mass with negative tumor markers. A biopsy was performed which confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic lymphangioma.
