The ultrasonographic examination demonstrated a giant cystic lesion with internal echogenic particles and septations that extended from epigastrium to pelvis, displacing all retroperitoneal and intraperitoneal organs posteriorly with clear margins between visceral organs (Figure 1).
Computed tomography images shows a huge abdominal cystic mass measuring 35cm x 25cm x 15, with a septum that occupied nearly the entire abdominal cavity: A) transversal section; B) coronal section; C) sagittal section

A CT examination disclosed the huge cystic lesion with homogenous density that entirely filled the abdominal cavity measuring 35 cmx25 cmx15 cm (Figure 2 A, Figure 2 B, Figure 2 C).
A) Intraoperative findings revealed a cystic mass, 30cm in diameter, in continuity with the greater omentum, the cyst contained serosanguinous fluid; B) the lesion was completely excised without any other combined resection; C) resected specimen shows the huge cystic lymphangioma
