Abstrakt: Among intraabdominal lymphangiomas, colonic lymphangiomas are rare. These cystic tumors are generally asymptomatic and incidentally found but may present with bleeding or obstructive symptoms. Intussusception by such tumors is scarcely reported, with only nine previously reported cases listed in Pubmed. We report a case of a 41-year-old female Asian patient who presented with acute abdomen and was diagnosed with colonic intussusception caused by lymphangioma. She received emergent right hemicolectomy, recovered well without complications, and was discharged on the 5th postoperative day. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
