Abdominal lymphangiomas are extremely rare in the adult population. We report an unusual case of a cystic lymphangiomas arising from the hepatoduodenal ligament. A 45‐year‐old man was admitted to our hospital with discontinuous upper abdominal pain. The preoperative CT diagnosis was neurinoma. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a cystic mass originating from the hepatoduodenal ligament and then it was resected successfully. The pathological sections proved it to be lymphangioma. The patient remains well with no evidence of recurrence two years post resection.
