[Cystic lymphangioma: a case report of abdominal location].

: A case of cystic lymphangioma is reported, located on the mesentery of the jejunum in a fifty-seven year old patient. The lymphangioma is an extremely rare disease and it is often located in the neck and arm pit. An intra abdominal and mediastinal location takes place in just 5% of the examined cases. Pre operative exams are taken into account; computerized (Axial) tomography and echo tomography have made diagnosis possible. The surgical therapy is the preferred treatment; no therapeutic options exist. The radical extirpation of the mass becomes necessary to avoid relapses.
