Abstract
Fallopian tube lymphangiomas are extremely rare lesions. It is uncertain if these tumors are true neoplasms or if some represent reactive lesions. We described an incidental cystic lymphangioma in a 69-year- old woman with a complaint of postmenopausal bleeding and pelvic pain. Almost all lymphangiomas are benign, but they can compress and infiltrate vital structures. To our best knowledge, cystic lymphangioma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare in the literature and may be secondary to the failure of the regional lymphatic drainage.©2008, Firat University, Medical Faculty.

Abstract
Fallopian tüpün kistik lenfanjiyomları oldukça nadir lezyonlardır. Bu tümörlerin gerçek bir neoplazm ya da reaktif lezyonlar olup olmadığı açık değildir. Postmenopozal kanama ve pelvik ağrı şikayeti ile başvuran 69 yaşındaki kadın hastada insidental kistik lenfanjiyom olgusu sunulmuştur. Neredeyse tüm lenfanjiyomlar benigndir, ancak çevre yapıları sıkıştırabilir ya da hayati organları infiltre edebilirler. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, literatürde oldukça nadir olan fallopian tüpün kistik lenfanjiyomu bölgesel lenfatik drenajın bozulmasına sekonder gelişebilir.©2008, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
