BACKGROUND Splenic hamartoma (SH) is a benign vascular lesion, usually found incidentally on abdominal images or at autopsy. Only around 200 cases have been reported since 1861, when SH was first described by Rokitansky. Although it is very rare, it is important to be familiar with it, as it may be a diagnostic challenge to distinguish SH from other mass lesions of the spleen based solely on preoperative investigations.

- Mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign abdominal lesions caused by malformation of lymphatic vessels, often with varied clinical presentations and silent progression.
- A case study of a 1-year-old girl showed symptoms of fever and abdominal pain, leading to diagnosis through various imaging and lab tests before surgical intervention.
- Surgical removal of the mass resulted in successful treatment with minimal complications, emphasizing that while these cysts can be asymptomatic, they carry risks and should be managed with surgery to prevent serious outcomes.
