title: Lymphangioma of the mesentery and small intestine: a case report showing a solid tumor with a cystic component on US and CT.
abstract: We encountered a patient with multiple lymphangiomas of the mesentery and small intestine. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a mesenteric tumor composed of a solid component with a small cystic part. This unusual appearance made the differential diagnosis between lymphangioma and other intra-abdominal solid tumors difficult.
