Lymphangioma of the small-bowel mesentery is rare, with an incidence of 1\u2009:\u2009250,000, representing less than 1% of all lymphangiomas. The predilection of the tumor is in the head and neck (70%), axillary (20%), and internal organs (10%). They are usually asymptomatic but can cause acute abdominal symptoms due to complications such as volvulus, bleeding, or lymphangioma rupture that require emergent surgery. Here, we report a case of mesenteric lymphangioma (ML) of a small bowel in a paediatric patient who presented with pain abdomen on and off which increased in severity and later had features of subacute intestinal obstruction. He underwent explorative laparotomy, and the mass was excised completely along with the part of small intestine. Pathological analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of ML of the small intestine. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged after ten days of hospital stay. Though benign in nature, ML may cause acute abdominal symptoms that require emergent surgery. Therefore, it has to be kept in differential diagnosis of the acute abdominal condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/3033705","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,18]],"date-time":"2022-05-18T05:50:21Z","timestamp":1652853021000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Huge Mesenteric Lymphangioma Presenting as a Small Bowel Volvulus in a Paediatric Patient: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1303-9065","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sushma","family":"Thapa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2920-5483","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Abhinav","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Adesh Medical College and Hospital, Ambala, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6014-2797","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dipesh","family":"Upreti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4529-1588","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Om Bahadur","family":"Karki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3207-515X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sudeep","family":"Regmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2857-479X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dilasma","family":"Ghartimagar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8566-2067","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Arnab","family":"Ghosh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v11.i32.5084"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3348\/kjr.2009.10.3.319"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2019.09.034"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2008.01.075"},{"issue":"1","key":"5","first-page":"129","article-title":"Cystic lymphangioma of jejunal mesentery mimicking acute appendicitis: case report","volume":"52","author":"M.
