Resumen
OLIVERA, S. et al. Partial jejunal volvulus due to a mesenteric cystic lymphangioma. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.3, pp.323-326. ISSN 1137-6627.
Mesenteric cysts are unusual benign tumours that include lymphangioma. Their clinical presentation is variable and acute symptoms can be produced due to complications. This tumour appears especially in childhood, and its prognosis after surgical removal is excellent. We present the case of a 15 year old female patient with symptoms of postprandial abdominal pain and palpation of smooth mass in hypogastrium. Radiological studies showed a big polilobular mass of cystic substance that included a portion of jejune with incomplete volvulus. The treatment was the removal of the cyst and a jejunal portion and the pathological diagnosis was mesenteric cyst lymphangioma. The patient is asymptomatic more than three years after the intervention.
