We present a case of a 6 year old male who was admitted to the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez with a history of previous management in a secondary care facility, during a three year period, with the diagnosis of recurrent ascites. We established the diagnosis of an omentum cystic lymphangioma and revised the international literature, emphasizing on the different of clinical presentations, study protocol, differential diagnosis and therapy.
