<jats:p>Lymphangioma usually occurs in children and usually involves the skin. Mesenteric lymphangiomas are extremely rare in adults (1,2,3). Lymphangioma of the small-bowel mesentery is rare, representing less than 1% of all lymphangiomas (4).</jats:p>
<jats:p>We report a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain, discomfort, nausea and vomiting. Pre-operative tests including abdominal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed, but they could not accurately determine the nature of the tumour. Laparotomy was performed; the tumour was excised completely, and a large cystic tumour of the small bowel mesentery was found. Histopathological examination diagnosed the tumour as a cystic lymphangioma. Lymphangiomas are extremely rare, especially in the abdomen of adults, and are asymptomatic for the most part; they often present as acute abdominal conditions, causing life-threatening complications such as secondary infection, rupture with haemorrhage, and volvulus or intestinal obstruction when the tumour increases in size, requiring emergent surgery.
