Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Cystic lymphangioma of the small bowel mesentery is a rare manifestation of an intra-abdominal tumour, particularly in adults.1–3 The clinical features of intra-abdominal lymphangioma are diverse, ranging from an asymptomatic abdominal tumour to symptoms of an acute abdomen. Therefore, a mass may be discovered incidentally during examination for an unrelated illness. We present the case of a adult with a cystic lymphangioma of the jejunal mesentery who had sudden onset of abdominal pain and tenderness with guarding.
