Abstract

Intra-abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are rare, benign congenital tumors that often present with vague symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. We report a case of a 4-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department with nonspecific abdominal pain. Her diagnosis of intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma was facilitated by point-of-care ultrasonography.
