The symptoms of abdominal lymphangioma are unspecific and depend on site and size of the tumor. The most frequent symptoms consist of pain up to the clinical picture of a pseudo-appendicitis, digestive problems, palpable or even exterior visible tumors such as the pseudo-ascites. Often the diagnosis cannot be found by clinical examination or further investigation. As a differential diagnosis all mesenterial cysts as well as other cystic tumors which originate in an abdominal organ must be taken in account. In most cases possible complications make surgical intervention necessary through which an exact diagnosis of the actually asymptomatic tumor can be found. Lymphangioma can lead to obstruction of the intestine, the ureter or the bile-duct. Inflammations of the cyst wall, bleeding into the cyst, torsion of the cyst pedicle and rupture of the cyst occur. The only curative therapy is the total surgical removal. Prognosis is good and relapse seldom occurs. We report on a 4.5-year-old boy with a cystic lymphangioma of the mesosigma. In addition, we discuss cases from the literature of the past 15 years.

The giant congenital vesical diverticulum of the bladder is very uncommon; three observations are described. The clinic symptomatology is ruled by acute retention of urine and by dysuria. The I.V.P. always shows the important reverberation on the renal cavities. In two cases the diagnosis has been done thanks to the cystography. Concerning the third child both clinic and paraclinic symptoms inclined to favour the diagnosis of an abdominal cystic hygroma but the surgical procedure showed it was a bilateral vesical diverticulum. The surgical treatment is made up of endo and latero-vesical diverticulectomy with reimplantation of the homolateral ureter which is always implanted in the posterior pouch. With its clinical, anatomical and physiopathological aspects, the giant congenital diverticulum of the bladder must be differentiated with the little diverticulum.

Megaureter is a developmental anomaly of the ureter, which is associated with significant morbidity in children and frequently requires surgical intervention. I am presenting here a case of massively dilated ureters in a child that occupied almost the entire abdomen and was wrongly misinterpreted as a cystic lymphangioma due to its unusual presentation.
