title: [Cystic lymphangioma of the ileum. A case report].
abstract: Cystic lymphangioma is an uncommon tumor of the small bowel. A case in the ileum in a 3 years old boy is described. The clinical picture was with 10 months of progression with constipation, abdominal pain associated with meals and finally an acute abdomen suggestive of appendicitis. A conservative surgical treatment with segmental intestinal resection and termino-terminal anastomosis was curative. The anatomopathological findings are described and a revision of the literature is done.
