Abstract

Intra-abdominal lymphangiomas are a rare entity. We report a case of cystic lymphangioma arising from the mesoappendix of a 21-year-old female patient. Barium enema examination revealed a pliable submucosal lesion at the cecal base, without contrast filling in the appendiceal lumen. US and CT demonstrated a multiseptated cystic mass in the pericecal and periappendiceal areas.
