Lymphangioma is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. It is frequently documented in the pediatric age group, and rarely presents in older people, especially in the spermatic cord. Here we report a case of spermatic cord lymphangioma in a 60 year old male who had obstructed inguinal hernia and the lymphangioma was small, detected incidentally during operation.
