Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas is a rare benign and a slow growing lesion. The diagnosis remains a challenge for even the most experienced clinicians. We report a case of a pancreatic lymphangioma in a 31-year-old female complaining of epigastric pain, nausea, constipation and urticaria several weeks ago ; and we discuss diagnosis, anatomopathological findings and therapeu- tic attitude.
