Cystic Lymphangioma of the Colon: Endoscopic Removal beyond the Frontiers of Size

Cystic lymphangiomas are benign colonic neoplasms arising from the submucosa.

Sumario:Cystic lymphangiomas are benign colonic neoplasms arising from the submucosa. Traditionally, endoscopic resection has been described for smaller lesions, while surgery is reserved for larger symptomatic lesions. We present a case of a 69-year-old asymptomatic individual noted to have a cystic lymphangioma of the colon measuring 5 cm, which was successfully removed with endoloop endoscopic resection without any complications.
