[Lymphangioma of the mesentery--surgical indication].
The discovery of a cystic image in the mesentery is a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem. We report the case of a 25-year-old female with a mesenteric lymphangioma, which was resected after careful consideration. The complications due to the expansion of this benign tumour are reviewed, and the surgical indications discussed.
