Case Reports
Bilateral inguinoscrotal swelling: An uncommon presentation of omental cystic lymphangioma.
Abdominal cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign tumour in children. It is often difficult to diagnosis pre-operatively due to a varied spectrum of symptoms. We report a case of a male infant who presented with gross bilateral inguinoscrotal swelling. ⋯ This case is unique as an abdominal lymphangioma presented solely as inguinoscrotal swelling, with no abdominal symptom. To our knowledge, this is the first case of omental cystic lymphangioma involving both inguinoscrotal regions. Our case suggests that abdominal cystic lymphangioma should be a part of the differential diagnosis in any child with gross inguinoscrotal swelling in whom initial impression is of communicating hydrocele.
