ABSTRACT
Cystic lymphangioma is an uncommon mesenteric tumor usually reported in children. We report a case of 14 year old female who presented with dull aching abdominal pain. At laparotomy a cystic tumor was found in mesentery, which was attached to bowel loops. The histopathology examination showed features of cystic lymphangioma. Although pre-operative diagnosis is usually possible on CT or MRI, confirmatory diagnosis of this lesion requires laparotomy followed by histopathology.
