Giant Mesenteric Hemangiolymphangioma Enveloping the Small Bowel: A Case Report

Hemangiolymphangioma is a rare type of lymphangioma marked by a mixture of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, usually found in infants and often on the surface of the body. This article discusses a case of a giant hemangiolymphangioma on the mesentery of the small intestine in a 34-year-old man, where a preoperative CT scan showed a mass in the mesentery. The patient was successfully treated with radical resection, and six months after surgery, he had no specific discomfort, and a follow-up abdominal CT showed no signs of recurrence. This case suggests that for localized mesenteric hemangiolymphangioma, complete surgical removal is a safe and effective treatment. This case provides important insights for managing giant mesenteric hemangiolymphangioma and highlights how a surgery-focused approach can really improve patients' quality of life.
