Mesenteric lymphangiomatosis, a rare condition, can present as acute abdomen in young adults. Complete surgical excision is the optimal treatment for these multifocal lymphangiomas.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Vascular Anomalies

Background:

  • Lymphangiomas are benign vascular tumors typically found in children.
  • Intra-abdominal lymphangiomas are rare, accounting for less than 5% of cases.
  • Lymphangiomatosis refers to multifocal or diffuse lymphangioma presentations.

Observation:

  • A case of mesenteric lymphangiomatosis presenting as acute abdomen in a 19-year-old male is reported.
  • This presentation is unusual given the typical pediatric demographic and head/neck location of lymphangiomas.

Findings:

  • Mesenteric lymphangiomatosis can manifest with acute abdominal symptoms.
  • Literature review highlights the rarity and varied presentations of intra-abdominal lymphangiomatosis.
  • Complete surgical excision is identified as the primary treatment modality.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Understanding the site and extent of lymphangiomatosis guides treatment strategies.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses in acute abdominal presentations.
