A complication of mesenteric lymphangioma: case report and brief review of literature.

Mesenteric lymphangioma (ML) has only rarely been reported in the literature. These cases are rare enough to arouse interest when encountered. Usually, the cases are asymptomatic but may present with acute or chronic intestinal obstruction. We report an additional case of ML associated with intermittent intestinal volvulus in a 5 years old boy.
