[Intussusception secondary to jejunal lymphangioma in a 13-year-old girl].
Lymphangioma is a benign tumor composed of numerous small or large thin-walled lymphatic spaces. It shows a predilection for head, neck, and axilla. Jejunal lymphangioma in children is extremely rare. We present a case of 13-year-old girl with jejuno-jejunal intussusception secondary to lymphangioma in jejunum. To our knowledge, this is the second report of jejunal lymphangioma causing intussusception in a child.
