Se describe un nuevo caso de linfangioma de cordón espermático en un niño de 2 años de edad, catalogado inicialmente como quiste de cordón, siendo un hallazgo intraoperatorio. El tratamiento consistió en la exéresis del tumor, y el diagnóstico fue histológico. Evolución postoperatoria favorable. Debe practicarse transiluminación, sistemáticamente, ante toda masa inguino-escrotal, aunque presente características típicas de hidrocele, así como conviene descartar la extensión y profundidad del linfangioma de cordón espermático, para evitar recurrencias postoperatorias.
We report a new case of spermatic cord lymphangioma in a infant 2 years old. The initial diagnosis was funicular hydrocele. The treatment was the local excision of tumor and the diagnostic was histological. Postoperative course was excellent. Must be explored the transillumination of the mass which would have led us to think other the diagnosis different from that of the cord hydrocele before the operation since it would have given negative. During the operation, must the assured that the cystic anomaly is limited to spermatic cord, to evite recurrences in the postoperative course.
