Core Tip

Core Tip: We report an endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of cystic lymphangioma of the ascending colon in adults. Based on a literature review, we summarize the aetiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cystic lymphangioma. Because the lesion is located in the intestinal cavity, it is extremely rare, providing additional information and reference for future diagnosis and treatment of such cases.
