Cystic lymphangioma are rare benign tumours which are manifested as unilocular o multilocular masses containing chylous or serous material. Its origin is generally accepted to be a congenital lymphatic inflammation. It is difficult to make a preoperative diagnosis. Occasionally, when these lesions are suspected, they may be diagnosed by lymphography. We describe one case which underwent subtotal gastrectomy. At the microscopic examination dilated lymphatic channels were present with some lymphatic inflammation.
