Abstract
- More than 95% of all cases of lymphangioma occur in head, neck and axilla. But, intraabdominal lymphangioma is rare. The etiology of intraabdominal lymphangioma is thought to be related with the congenital malfomation of lymphatics. It is more common in children than in adults and most of them are known to be cystic lymphangioma in pathology. The clinical symptoms of mesenteric lymphangioma seem to be related with the size and location of the tumor. We report a case of lymphangioma which was diagnosed preoperatively by lipoprotein electrophoresis in a 21-year-old woman with periumblical pain.
