A Rare Case of Intra-Abdominal Lympho - Venous Malformation Detected in Utero with Post Natal Transabdominal Ultrasonography and Histopathological Correlation

Veno lymphatic malformations are congenital malformations showing) slow flow lymphovenous anomalies with lymphatic differentiation, commonly seen in head, neck and axilla. They are congenital, often asymptomatic. Abdominal lymphatic malformation can arise from mesentery, omentum, gastrointestinal tract, and retroperitoneum and are rather rare and account for approximately 5% of all lymphatic malformation. Depending on the site, size and symptoms, treatment options vary from conservative management to surgical resection. In our present case, we discuss the intrauterine sonographic imaging appearance of abdominal lymphatic malformation incidentally detected in a later trimester scan with histopathological confirmation.
