A 3-months baby comes to our emergency department for an abdominal mass of elastic consistency that suddenly appeared for a week and grown exponentially in the last few days. Blood examinations identify a septic state of the child, and the emergency CT recognizes the abdominal mass’s cystic structure. The surgical removal and the histological analysis will confirm the diagnosis of Infected Common Macrocystic Lymphatic Malformation. This case allows us to remember to pediatricians the main features of Cystic Lymphatic Malformations that should always be considered during the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses of sudden onset in an infant.
