Background: Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign lesion of the mesentery of small bowel with an uncertain aetiology. It occurs predominantly in children. The clinical presentation is diverse, it can be asymptomatic, incidentally discovered abdominal cyst or presents with symptoms of acute abdomen. Case presentation: We report a case of a mesenteric cystic lymphangioma that presented with signs and symptoms leading towards appendicular mass. It was a case of a 13-year-old boy, with no pass medical illness, presented to us with 1-week history of right lower abdominal pain and mass. Abdominal imaging showed multiloculated cystic mass with peripherally displaced small bowel, suggestive of mesenteric lymphangioma. He then underwent laparotomy, resection of mesenteric cyst and the affected small bowel. Histopathological report showed mesenteric lymphangioma of the ileum. Conclusion: Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma can presents with a misleading presentation. With complete surgical resection, the prognosis is excellent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
