Lymphatic malformations are benign tumors rarely located in the gastro-intestinal tract. They are usually asymptomatic; however, they can cause clinical discomfort when enlarged. Imaging leads to diagnosis, but the confirmation can only be done through histology findings. We report the case of a 59-year-old male patient, admitted in our ward for melena, to which esophago-gastroduodenoscopy showed budding formations in the second portion of the duodenum wall, with Magnetic Resonance Imaging features and histological examination confirming diagnosis of a duodenal lymphatic malformation.

Introduction Cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors of the lymph vessels and are usually found in children. However, abdominal cystic lymphangioma in mesocolon is extremely rare in adult patients. Presentation of case We reported a 15-year-old female with giant cystic lymphangioma of the right mesocolon. On examination, only abdominal pain was confirmed. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a large multiseptated cystic mass. The patient underwent a total right mesocolic excision with the lesion. The patient recovered well on postoperative follow-up and was discharged on the fifth day. No evidence of recurrence had also been found in three months follow-up period. Discussion The diagnosis of intra-abdominal cystic lymphoma is often dismissed because the clinical symptoms are nonspecific. It is easy confusion because the ultrasound and CT scan images are relatively similar to the mesenteric and omental cysts. Sclerosing therapies may cause long-term consequences such as local recurrences with a very high proportion. Complete resection, including resection of the involved organs, is necessary. With tumors surrounding the colon, surgeons should consider performing removal block colon-lesion. Conclusion Complete tumor removal is the optimal choice for the management of intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma. However, incomplete resection may lead to local recurrence.

“…In most cases, segmental bowel resection is required [ 3 ]. Some patients required pancreaticoduodenectomy as the masses were adherent to the stomach or pancreas [ 14 ]. If complete resection is achieved prognosis is excellent, yet recurrence can happen and long-term follow up with an ultrasound scan is advisable [ 5 , 11 ].…”

Benign tumours of vascular and lymphatic origin are known as lymphangiomas. In this report, we present a case of a 26-year-old lady admitted with symptoms of small bowel obstruction. Her computed tomography (CT) scan showed a well-defined mass in the small bowel mesentery associated with small bowel volvulus. Segmental resection of the bowel, including the mass, was performed. Microscopic examination and immunohistochemistry of the specimen were consistent with lymphangioma of the small bowel mesentery.

Jejunal mesenteric lymphangioma treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy: A case report

Abstract: Highlights Small bowel mesenteric lymphangiomas in adults are rare. A huge lymphangioma infiltrated the pancreas and duodenum. A pancreaticoduodenectomy was required to remove it completely.
