With the development and widespread use of colonoscopy, lymphangioma of the large intestine has recently been reported frequently. This paper presents some findings from a review of 279 cases of this disease in Japan, including a typical case that we encountered. A 69-year-old female was diagnosed as having lymphangioma of the descending colon based on the findings of a barium enema and a colonoscopy, and the lesion was successfully removed by an endoscopic resection. In the published reports, the etiology of this disease is not clear yet but the age at onset range shows a tendency toward a higher incidence in comparatively older patients and the male-to-female ratio indicates a higher incidence in males. If there is no complication, endoscopic treatment seems to be the preferable procedure for this disease.
