Lymphangiomas of the ovary are unusual benign tumours characterised by proliferation of lymphatic channels, composed of cystic spaces lined by a single layer of endothelial cells. We present a case of 61-year-old woman who presented with complaints of pain abdomen. Investigations revealed a large left ovarian multiseptate multiloculated cystic mass extending to pelvis, abdominal cavity and infraumbilical region likely neoplastic. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed suspecting malignancy. Histopathological examination revealed an ovarian lymphangioma. Patient was disease free 1 year post-surgery. Ovarian cystic lymphangiomas must be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic ovarian masses and long term follow up is suggested to exclude a possibility of malignant transformation.

Medical and surgical pathology (NLM ID: 101689989) deals with the macroscopic and microscopic examination of surgical specimens for effective diagnosis of disease. Surgical specimens are of two categories, biopsies, and surgical resections. Surgical pathology also includes subdivisions such as dermatopathology, cytopathology, hematopathology, neuropathology and pediatric pathology.
