Lymphangiomas are benign tumors most commonly found in the neck, axilla and skin. Occasionally they may occur in the gastrointestinal tract, most in the small intestine or mesentary. Lymphangioma of the colon is rare. Many of the reported cases, however, have manifested similar radiographic features. This case exemplifies the characteristic radiographic and colonoscopic features which may suggest the diagnosis.
