“…Lymphangiomas occur mainly among paediatric patients in the first few years of life and are far less commonly discovered in adults 3. Approximately 90% of all lymphangiomas occur in the head, neck and axillae, while less than 5% are found intra-abdominally 4. Within this small subgroup of intra-abdominal lymphangiomas, they are reported to most commonly occur in the small bowel mesentery—accounting for 70% of the distribution—followed by retroperitoneum, omentum and the mesocolon 5 6.…”

Mesenteric lymphangiomas are relatively rare, with clinical symptoms ranging from an asymptomatic presentation to an acute abdomen. The natural history and biological behaviour of this entity can range from slow indolent lesions to aggressive tumours with a risk of malignant transformation. Spontaneous regression of a mesenteric lymphangioma is rare. We herein report a case of a jejunal mesenteric lymphangioma that was initially detected incidentally in an asymptomatic patient with a subsequent sudden increase in size with resulting surrounding mass effect after 9 months and a spontaneous partial regression at surgical resection. Our case is the first reported case which outlines a period in the natural history and evolution of microcystic mesenteric lymphangioma, illustrating the sudden enlargement likely attributable to spontaneous and self-limiting haemorrhage and subsequent partial regression at surgical resection. We thenceforth propose a possible management algorithm for adult patients with mesenteric lymphangiomas.

IntroductionCystic lymphangioma is a benign malformation tumor of the lymphatic system. Its location is variable, and mesocolic localization remains extremely rare.Case presentationWe report a case of right mesocolon giant cystic lymphangioma in a previously healthy 14-year-old boy who was successfully managed through a minimally invasive laparoscopic excision. The patient presented with 8 months of dull abdominal pain, sporadic, located on the peri-umbilicus, exacerbated for a month. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a large, multiseptated cystic mass on the right mesocolon. Right mesocolic excision using a laparoscope was performed on this patient. He was discharged on the fifth day without complications. Recurrence was not detected in three months of follow-up.ConclusionCystic lymphangiomas in the mesocolon are rare benign neoplasms that pose diagnostic challenges. Complete resection is the optimal option for diagnostic confirmation and recurrence prevention. Laparoscopic surgery is feasible for children with mesocolic lymphangioma.

The aim of this study was presenting significance of diagnostic process in doctor’s daily routine. A 45-year-old patient for a planned laparotomy due to left ovarian cyst detected with a routine transvaginal ultrasound. She did not report any symptoms. Computer tomography of the abdomen and pelvis showed a cystic lesion with segmental wall thickening, measuring 133 x 83 x 135 mm, adjacent to the left ovary and the uterus on the left side. At the laparotomy exploration, a giant cyst, ca. 20 cm in diameter was found above the uterus, on the left side, in the area between the lower and middle abdomen. The histological exam results showed lymphangioma of the small and large intestine mesentery. In this case, lymphangioma was found in a rare location, in the mesentery of the ileocecal valve. It did not present any signs and symptoms. CT used in the present case failed to identify the exact point of origin of the lesion.
