title: Intestinal lymphangiomas: a rare cause of intestinal obstruction.
abstract: Intestinal obstruction developed in a 4-month-old child in association with an ileal lymphangioma. Intestinal lymphangiomas have only rarely been reported in the literature. This case report documents an additional case and also points out an association with intestinal obstruction. The clinical and pathologic details of lymphangiomas are also reviewed.
