Introduction: Pancreatic cystic lymphangioma (PCL) is an extremely rare benign tumor of lymphatic origin. Traditionally, it is diagnosed at surgery performed on a patient with a retroperitoneal cyst of unclear etiology. However, recently a few single case reports showed PCL was successfully diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Case Report: We present a new case of PCL in an 11-year-old boy who came to our hospital for swelling of the body. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed a 7.7x4.5 cm cystic lesion involving head and neck of the pancreas. EUS-FNA was subsequently performed and diagnosis of PCL was made based on result of cytological examination and measurement of aspirate. Conclusion: In agreement with previous reports, we show that EUS-FNA confirmed the cystic lesion in pancreas and further provided the gross, biochemical and cytological features supporting accurate diagnosis of PCL.
