Clinical case of cystic lymphangioma of the mesentery of the small intestine

A clinical observation of cystic lymphangioma of the mesentery of the small intestine in a conscript soldier complicated by rupture of a cyst and diffuse reactive serous peritonitis is presented. A laparotomy and revision of the abdominal organs revealed a multitude of cysts, ranging from 0.3 to 12 cm in diameter, emanating from the mesentery of the small intestine. The largest and most mobile cysts are removed. As a result of treatment (infusion therapy, analgesics, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticoagulants), the patient’s condition improved. This observation shows the diversity of the clinical manifestations of mesenteric lymphangioma.
