Abstract
Mesenteric lymphangioma is a rare malformation of the lymphatic system. Misdiagnosis of mesenteric cystic lymphangioma can occur due to its rarity and resemblance to other cystic lesions and ascites. The authors report an acute presentation of a mesenteric lymphangioma in a 9-year-old child. Clinical, radiological, and surgical findings are illustrated accordingly. As authors, we aim to add to the limited data of acute presentations of mesenteric lymphangiomas.
