[Mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas (report of three cases) (author's transl)].
Three cases of mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas in children are reported. All of them were found during laparotomies for acute abdomen, and their pathology was rather similar, except for the contents which was chylous in the two cases located in the jejunum and serous in the remaining ileal case. One of these tumours contained calcified material, a fact which makes diagnostic suspicion possible. The literature on this topic is up-dated.
