Lymphangiomas are benign tumours that appears to arise from congenital malformation of the lymphatics. They are most commonly reported in the head and neck regions. The clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of mesenteric lymphangiomas are reviewed. Ultrasound and computed tomography are most useful in the intraabdominal cystic lesions for confirming the diagnosis. Intestinal and mesenteric resection, as soon as diagnosis is established, is the procedure of choice and results in an excellent outcome.

We performed morphological and immunohistochemical analyses of erythrocyte-rich vascular proliferative lesions of mesenteric lymph nodes in six male and one female Wistar Hannover rats. These lesions are conventionally diagnosed as hemangiomas due to abundant erythrocytes. Immunostaining was positive for prospero-related homeobox 1 (Prox-1) and/or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) in all lesions, suggesting a lymphangitic origin.
