RESUMEN
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.

Anisakiasis occurs when humans ingest raw or inadequately cooked saltwater fish or squid that is infested with anisakis larvae. The larvae invade the gastrointestinal mucosa and cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and various gastrointestinal lesions. Anisakiasis of the stomach has been reported occasionally but involvement of the small bowel or colon is extremely rare. We report three cases of anisakiasis in the colon with a brief review of the relevant literature.
