  • Title: Giant cystic lymphangioma of the small bowel mesentery: report of a case.
    Author: Tsukada H, Takaori K, Ishiguro S, Tsuda T, Ota S, Yamamoto T.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2002; 32(8):734-7. PubMed ID: 12181728.
    Abstract:
    We herein describe the case of a 48-year-old man who presented to our hospital with abdominal distension and pain. Preoperative studies including abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography failed to determine the cause of the pain. At laparotomy, a giant cystic tumor of the small bowel mesentery was found. Histologically, the tumor was diagnosed as a cystic lymphangioma. Although mesenteric lymphangiomas are rare, especially in adults, they should be considered as a possible cause of acute abdomen.
