Abdominal lymphangiomas are rare cystic lesions most commonly located in the small bowel mesentery. They may be asymptomatic or present with a variety of nonspesific abdominal symptoms including acute or chronic abdominal pain and distension. Although ultrasonography may show its cystic nature, CT and MRI are necessary to show its complex anatomic relationships. Here we report a case of cystic lymphangioma located in the small bowel mesentery incidentally diagnosed with multislice CT

Abdominal lenfanjiomlar oldukça seyrek görülen kistik lezyonlar olup en sık ince barsak mezenterinde yerleşim gösterir. Asemptomatik olabileceği gibi akut ya da kronik karın ağrısı ve distansiyon gibi nonspesifik semptomlar görülebilir. Ultrasonografi ile lezyonun kistik karakteri belirlenebilmekle beraber kompleks anatomik ilişkilerinin saptanabilmesi için BT ve MRG gereklidir. Çalışmamızda çok kesitli BT incelemesinde insidental olarak saptanan, ince barsak mezenterinde lokalize kistik lenfanjiom olgusunun bulguları sunulmuştur
