We report a 51-year-old female patient with a solitary lymphangioma located in the upper splenic pole which was managed successfully with laparoscopic partial splenectomy.Surgery lasted 170 min and did not require blood transfusions.The patient recovered well post-operatively and was asymptomatic at the 3-mo follow-up.She had a normal platelet count and no recurrence on ultrasonography or computed tomography.Laparoscopic partial splenectomy is a safe,minimally invasive technique for the treatment of solitary splenic lymphangiomas in the splenic pole.We performed the procedure using the HabibTM 4X device.This laparoscopic bipolar radiofrequency device ensured a “bloodless” splenic parenchymal resection.
