Introduction: Lymphatic malformations are caused by malformations of the lymphatic vessels during embryonic life, conditioning their histopathological characteristics, the caliber of the vessels that compose it, and the site where they are located. Case report: We report the case of a male patient of 1 year and 2 months old who was diagnosed with a lymphatic malformation located in the lesser omentum, this localization being one of the least frequent of this group of malformations. Conclusion: We describe the diagnostic approach and surgical resolution of a lesser omentum lymphatic malformation with its complete removal and without complications or recurrence.

Keywords : Lymphatic vessels; Omentum; Lymphatic malformation.
