Abstract
|
|
|
|
A cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor that arises in an organ with a large number of lymphatics. It arises in patients of all ages and has variable presentations. An abdominal cystic lymphangioma most commonly occurs in the intestinal mesentery, with the retroperitoneum being the second location of choice, and it causes abdominal pain, hematochezia, intussusceptions and protein-losing enteropathy. If the cystic lymphangioma presents with symptoms, surgical excision is required for treatment and diagnosis. We report here a case of cystic lymphangioma of the small bowel mesentery that presented with a small bowel volvulus, along with a brief review of the literature.
