Abstract
-
Although pulmonary lymphangioma is very rare, it is usually discovered as cystic or cavitary or solitary pulmonary nodular shadow on radiological studies. The final diagnosis is usually made pathologically after surgical intervention. We report an unusual case of pulmonary cystic lymphangioma developed in the lingular segment of the left upper lobe which was diagnosed and treated by surgical resection.
