Cystic lymphangioma of the small bowel mesentery, presenting as acute intestinal obstruction.
Pak Armed Forces Med J Jan ;58(4):461-2.

Lymphangiomas are most commonly (95%) located in the neck, axilla and mediastinum. The remaining 5% are found in the abdominal cavity (mesentery, omentum and reteroperitoneum). The case is being presented because of the uncommon location of cystic lymphangiomas in the mesentery [1]. We wish to report on a case of cystic lymphangioma of small bowel mesentery in a girl of six years, who presented with three days history of acute intestinal obstruction, diagnosed by exploratory laparotomy and confirmed by histopathology.
