Introduction:
Lymphangioma is an uncommon malformation of lymphatic system. Multiple colonic lymphangioma named as lymphangiomatosis is considered an extremely rare disease.
Presentation Of Case:
We report a case of colonic lymphangiomatosis presenting as recurrent right iliac fossa pain in a young female treated surgically.
Discussion:
Lymphangiomatosis is a rare but benign disease with a variety of presentations. There are few reported cases in the literature at present and no guidelines regarding the diagnosis or treatment of the same.
Conclusion:
Our case demonstrates an unusual presentation of lymphangiomatosis treated surgically. Debate will remain on this rare condition.
