Figure 3b.

Cystic lymphangioma in a 33-year-old woman with a 2-week history of right lower quadrant pain, with pathologic correlation. (a, b) Transverse US (a) and axial contrast-enhanced CT (b) images show a thin-walled multiloculated cyst containing thin septa (arrow) that insinuates around the colon.(c) Photograph of the cut gross specimen shows the multilocular nature of the lymphangioma, with cystic spaces of varying size (*) and thin septa (arrow). (d) Photomicrograph of a cystic lymphangioma shows multiple thin-walled cystic spaces lined with endothelial cells and containing lymph (*). (MRI features are shown in Figure E1.)
