| Abstract |
|
Cystic lymphangioma is an uncommon benign tumor that appears in organ with a many number of lymphatics, and rarely
develops in the abdomen. It occurs in all ages, especially children. When it occurs in the mesentery, it called mesentery
lymphatics malformation. It causes abdominal pain, abdominal distension, vomiting and constipation. If the cystic lymphangioma
presents with symptoms, surgical excision is required for treatment and diagnosis. In this report, we describe a case of cystic
lymphangioma that presented with a small bowel volvulus in a 5-year-old girl visiting emergency room. At first, we suspected
acute appendicitis for her symptoms. After that, ultrasonography and computerized tomography show findings of a cystic
lymphangioma. It presents symptom suspected volvulus. So operation was performed. |
