title: Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma: radiologic appearance mimicking cystic teratoma.
abstract: Lymphangiomas are benign multiloculated cystic tumors. We present radiologic and pathologic findings of a mesenteric lymphangioma containing calcification and mimicking a mesenteric teratoma. This may broaden the differential diagnosis of a cystic mesenteric mass containing calcification.
