Abstract
Lymphangiomas are made up of multiple lymphatic channels lined by benign-appearing endothelial cells. The lesions can occur anywhere in the body but most commonly affect head, neck and axilla. It rarely involves the gastrointestinal tract and particularly lymphangioma of the colon is very rare. Histologically, it is classified three types as simple or capillary, cavernous, and cystic. We experienced three cases of cavernous lymphangioma of the ascending colon. Case 1, 56-year-old male, had lymphangioma accompanied by ulcerating cancer of the cecum. Case 2, 51-year-old female, had lymphangioma of cecum. Case 3, 41-year-old male had lymphangioma at ileocecal valve. All cases could be diagnosed by colonoscopic snare polypectomy.
