ABSTRACT
A case of intestinal obstruction due to lymphangioma of mesentery in a two months old child is presented. Patient presented with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. X-ray showed multiple air fluid levels, while ultrasound was insignificant. Exploration revealed a milky white cyst of mesentery causing complete occlusion at mid ileum. Cyst along with segment of ileum was resected and end-to-end anastomosis made. Post-operative recovery was un-eventful. Histopathological findings were consistent with lymphangioma of mesentery
ABSTRACT
Haemangiomas of small bowel are rare benign tumors. They present diversely, with intestinal obstruction being rare. We describe a two years old female baby with intestinal obstruction. Exploration revealed a diffusely infiltrating haemangioma of middle one third of ileum. Resection of affected segment and end to end bowel anastomosis was made. Post- operative recovery was un- eventful. Histopathological report was consistent with capillary haemangioma of small intestine

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy also called as Rosai-Dorfman's disease is a benign self limiting rare histiocytic disorder with very few case reports in Pakistani literature. This case report describes a young boy of nine years age who presented with progressive, asymptomatic bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy for eight months. Open cervical lymph node biopsy confirmed the diagnosis on classical histopathological features. As the patient was asymptomatic, we kept him on observation, with follow-up. He shown remarkable reduction in cervical lymphadenopathy
