- Lymphangioma is a rare, benign tumor caused by a lymphatic system malformation, often found in the head, neck, and axilla but can occur anywhere in the body.
- In children, abdominal cystic lymphangiomas typically occur in the mesentery, causing symptoms like abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction.
