Abstract
|
|
|
Lymphangioma of the large bowel is a rare benign tumor which is composed of numerous small or large thin-walled lymphatic spaces contained fibrous tissue, smooth muscle and aggregates of lymphoid tissue. Lymphangioma never demonstrated any
potential for
malignant degeneration. There are three types; ①simple capillary lymphangioma, ②cavernous lymphangioma and ③ cystic lymphangioma
Endoscopically, lymphangioma appears as a compressible smooth, round, or oval submucosal tumor covered with pale intact mucosa. The surfaces is smooth and the superficial color is the same as the surrounding mucosa or slightly more yellowish.
There
are
change of dimension and shape during propagation of the peristaltic were and on compression.
Recently, authors experienced 4 cases of lymphangioma of large intestine which has been revealed by typical colonoscopic findings and/or endoscopic ultrasound, and confirmed by surgical resection and colonoscopic snare polypectomy. 3 of 4 cases
show
cystic lymphangioma and one case shows carenous lymphangioma. We report these cases with review of literatures. (Kor J Gastrointest Endosc 15: 765~722, 1995)
