Abstract
Mesenteric lymphangioma (ML) has only rarely been reported in the lite rature. These cases are rare enough to arouse interest when encoutered . Usually, the cases are asymptomatic but may present with acute or ch ronic intestinal obstruction. We report an additional case of ML assoc iated with intermittent intestinal volvulus in a 5 years old boy.
