Lymphangiomas are benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic vessels that manifest mainly in pediatric patients and infrequently in adults. The usual site for lymphangiomas is the head and neck region; however, they can occur in many different body organs, either as a systemic disease called lymphangiomatosis syndrome or as a single organ lesion [1]. They rarely involve the spleen, especially in adults where they are found incidentally. The differential diagnosis is usually broad, and making an accurate diagnosis pre-operatively is a challenging task for clinicians. The treatment of choice is total resection of tumor in order to prevent serious complications [2]. In this paper, we present one case of splenic lymphangioma in a 47-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain.
