Abstract:
We describe a case of mesenteric lymphangioma, a very rare disease in adults that is considered to be a developmental abnormality. Since treatment involves complete excision of the mass to prevent recurrence, it is important to understand the exact extent of the tumor prior to surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most useful preoperative approach for diagnosis and surgical planning.
