Mesenteric Cystic Lymphangioma Induced Recurrent Abdominal Pain And Signs of Intestinal Obstruction: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2022, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma is an uncommon benign abdominal mass. This is a case of a 40-year-old female who presented to the hospital with recurrent abdominal pain and distention. Computed Tomography and magnetic resonance imaging tests suggested a mesenteric cyst. The patient underwent laparotomy which confirmed the presence of a mesenteric cyst along with small bowel narrowing at the site of the cyst caused by multiple adhesive bands released during the procedure. The cyst was found and excised approximately 200 cm away from the ileocecal junction, and was pathologically confirmed to be a mesenteric cystic lymphangioma. These findings support that mesenteric cystic lymphangioma could cause chronic abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction.
