Abstract : Splenic lymphangioma is a benign cystic neoplasm. Possible etiopathogenesis could be congenital malformation of spleen or inflammation of lymphatic system causing obstruction. It is slow growing neoplasm accounting for <0.007%. Usually presents in childhood. Rare beyond 20 years of age. Other associated symptoms are nausea, vomitings and pain. Lymphangiomas most commonly involve the neck (75%) and axilla (20%) and are less common in the mediastinum, retroperitoneum, kidney, bone, adrenals, spleen, liver and pancreas. Lymphangiomatosis syndrome involves lymphangiomas at multiple sites.

Keywords : Splenic Lymphangioma, Adult, Female, Cystic Lesion.
