    Abstract:
    Lymphangiomas are benign tumours that appears to arise from congenital malformation of the lymphatics. They are most commonly reported in the head and neck regions. The clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of mesenteric lymphangiomas are reviewed. Ultrasound and computed tomography are most useful in the intraabdominal cystic lesions for confirming the diagnosis. Intestinal and mesenteric resection, as soon as diagnosis is established, is the procedure of choice and results in an excellent outcome.
