We report a case of a 58-year-old man presenting with a mild attack of upper abdominal pain and who was found to have a swollen pancreatic b ody and tail. Pathological study of the resected mass revealed cystic lymphangioma. Only 30 cases of lymphangioma of the pancreas, including our case, have been reported to date.
