Successful Surgical Management of Omental Lymphangioma in an Adult: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lymphangioma is an uncommon benign lesion typically observed in childhood, with rare occurrences in adults. The preferred treatment for this condition is surgical resection, which offers an excellent prognosis and minimal risk of recurrence when complete removal is achieved. This case report describes the successful surgical management of a rare omental lymphangioma in a 26-year-old man who presented with epigastric pain and abdominal distension. Diagnostic imaging revealed a massive multiloculated cystic lesion measuring 9.0 × 21.3 × 26 cm occupying the entire omentum, with evidence of partial rupture and hemorrhagic fluid. The patient underwent complete surgical excision via midline laparotomy, which required partial gastrectomy due to tumor adherence to the stomach. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lymphangioma, and the patient recovered well with no recurrence at 12-month follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of adult-onset abdominal lymphangiomas and underscores the importance of complete surgical resection as the definitive treatment. Large omental lymphangiomas can present significant surgical challenges and require careful preoperative planning with advanced imaging and consideration of adjacent organ involvement.
