“…Developmental cysts have further been classified as chylangioma (lymphangioma containing chylous) and chyle-filled lymphatic cysts (a dilated lymphatic developing due to an obstruction of the lymph flow) ( 5 ). It has been also reported that malignant transformation may occur in 3% of cases ( 9 , 12 ). Clinical and radiological findings are usually non-specific.…”

The occurrence of a mesenteric cyst (MC) is common in adults while in children and in infants is rare. In adults mesenteric cysts are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally; however, in children they commonly present with symptoms of abdominal pain or distension with fever and leucocytosis. We report on a rare case, in our experience, of Mesenteric Chylous cyst (MCC) in an infant with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Discussion of literature is also reported.

“…Most nonemergency operations, such as aesthetic surgeries, may be postponed for more feasible periods [32]. Other types of surgeries, like obstetrics and gynecological surgeries, like ovarian problems, may not be delayed, and their guidelines and surgical precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic have been prepared [33]. In some specialties, residents' training and educational activities are postponed, awaiting for safety periods to come [34].…”

Background: The primary purpose of this literature review is to investigate different views of elective surgery management during the COVID-19 pandemic. In other words, the guidelines about diseases prevention and their proper management during performing elective surgeries have been reviewed. Materials and Methods: Current articles related to COVID-19 and practicing elective surgeries in different remarkable EndNote X8 database journals in 2020 were retrieved. All articles referring to COVID-19 precaution rules in implementing elective surgeries were integrated into the article’s main goals. Results: All reviews showed alarming guideline steps that should be taken for validated preventing and managing elective surgeries practiced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Emphasizing qualified elective surgery protocols were quoted in many articles to do elective surgeries with successful results. Conclusion: Taking effective and evidence-based steps in patients` selection, precautions, and hospitals` safety cares result in protective surgical results. Elective surgeries should be practiced in highly-equipped hospitals with extraordinary quarantine measures during a COVID-19 pandemic. Safety measures are the primary goal for patients, staff, surgeons, and other health providers before surgeons get involved with any elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions of how different elective surgical operations are planned during the COVID-19 pandemic are essential controversies. As no clear answers are found to questions of how elective surgeries can be practiced during a COVID-19 pandemic, specific rules issued by the world’s most authentic surgical associations have been adopted by surgeons to operate elective surgeries.

“…It is not clear whether mesenteric hemangiomas originate in the bowel wall or in the mesentery. Some reported cases have been thought to originate in the bowel wall and extend into the mesentery (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). In previous reports, hemangiomas have been mostly located in the small intestine mesentery (5,6,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

Background: Gastrointestinal hemangiomas are very rare and are even rarer in the mesentery. It is not known whether they originate in the bowel wall or the mesentery currently. Some studies have described mesenteric hemangiomas that originate in the bowel wall and extend into the mesentery. We herein describe a case of cavernous hemangioma of the mesorectum. Case presentation: A 31-year-old male presented with hematochezia and sensation of rectal tenesmus. Both the rectal MRI and contrast-enhanced CT scan of the whole abdomen indicated rectal wall thickening, marked dilated and tortuous vessels around the rectum. In addition, an anomalous vein had arisen from the superior mesenteric vein, extending down to the mesorectum. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgical resection of the mesorectal lesion and the involved portions of the rectum. The surgical samples underwent pathological analysis, and a diagnosis of mesenteric cavernous hemangioma was confirmed. Seven days after surgery, the patient was discharged without postoperative complications.Conclusion: Mesenteric hemangiomas are extremely rare tumors. In our present case, an anomalous vein had arisen from the superior mesenteric vein, extending down to the mesorectum. This findings suggest that the mesenteric hemangioma more likely originated in the mesentery.
