Popis: We present an acute manifestation of mesenteric lymphangioma in a 1-Year-Old Girl. Lymphangiomas (LA) comprise a considerable group of different benign vascular malformations of the lymphatic system and account for about 6% of all benign pediatric tumors. About 5% of LA present intraabdominally as mesenteric LA. Diagnosis of this disease can be initially difficult, but the use of ultrasound allows for a quick diagnosis. Although the tumor is benign, it can lead to an acute abdomen requiring emergency surgery.
