J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A. 2005 Dec;15(6):630-3. doi: 10.1089/lap.2005.15.630.

Abstract

Omental lymphangiomas are rare intra-abdominal tumors. We describe a case of an omental lymphangioma which appeared on computed tomography scan as a possible gastric duplication cyst. The lesion was correctly diagnosed preoperatively via endoscopic ultrasound and complete excision of the cyst was performed laparoscopically.
