Resumen
Objetivo

Comentar los aspectos más relevantes y revisar la literatura de esta patología tan poco frecuente.

Material y métodos

Presentamos dos casos de linfangioma o higroma quístico, comentando la clínica, diagnóstico, tratamiento y la evolución de éstos y, revisando la literatura actual. El primer caso es el de un joven diagnosticado de linfangioma pélvico y escrotal. El segundo es el de un paciente con linfangioma quístico retroperitoneal.

Discusión

El linfangioma quístico es una malformación congénita hamartomatosa del sistema linfático que suele aparecer en la infancia a modo de grandes masas a nivel de partes blandas, con tendencia a crecer, a no ser que se extirpen de forma completa.

Conclusión

Son pocos los casos descritos de higroma quístico escrotal, muchas veces diagnosticados erróneamente, como otras patologías quísticas escrotales, lo que comporta indicaciones quirúrgicas erróneas y cirugías incompletas que predisponen a la recidiva posterior. El higroma quístico retroperitoneal aislado es una patología infrecuente diagnosticada a menudo de forma incidental.

Abstract
Objective

To comment on the most relevant aspects and to review the literature on this unusual pathology.

Material and Methods

We present two cases of cystic lymphangioma, their clinical, diagnosis, therapy and development, and we review the actual literature. The first case is a young man with the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the scrotum and pelvis. The second case is one patient with a cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneum.

Discussion

Cystic lymphangioma is a congenital lymphatic hamartoma of the lymphatic system that usually appears at childhood like a big mass at soft tissues that has a tendency to grow unless a completed excision is performed.

Conclusions

There are few cases of scrotal cystic lymphangioma in the literature; they are often misdiagnosed as other common cystic scrotal conditions leading to an improper surgical approach and an incomplete surgery that predisposes later recurrence. Cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneum is a rare entity diagnosis in most cases as an incidentaloma.

Key words:
