Core Tip	A 44-year-old man presented with abdominal distension and unexplained weight loss. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed an enormous multilobulated cystic process. Subsequent exploratory laparotomy revealed a cystic mass containing 6 L serous fluid, originating from the lesser curvature of the stomach. Pathological examination of the resected specimen obtained by radical partial gastrectomy indicated multicystic lymphangioma, a rare benign tumor caused by congenital or traumatic defects of lymphatic channels. Although these large tumors can cause mass effect symptoms and result in serious complications, this case had an uneventful recovery and no complaints at 3-mo follow-up.
