A Rare Case of Large Hemolymphangioma in the Small Bowel Mesentery : A Case Report

Abstract

Hemolymphangioma or hemangiolymphangioma is a rare venolymphatic vascular malformation composed of proliferations or networks of vascular spaces including the lymphatics, capillaries, veins, or arteries. The small bowel is a rare location for hemolymphangioma, and the small bowel mesentery is an even rarer site. Herein, we report a surgically confirmed large complex hemolymphangioma in the small bowel mesentery in a 55-year-old male.
