Abstract
- Lymphangiomas are rare benign lymphatic malformations. Even though these neoplasms can arise from any location and age, most of them are dominant in the head and neck of children. On the other hand, lymphangiomas are exceedingly rare in adults, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal tract lymphangiomas account for only about 1% of lymphatic malformations. Although there have been increasing cases of gastrointestinal lymphangiomas reported in recent years, cecal lymphangiomas causing intussusception in adults are rarely mentioned. In this article, we report a 27-year-old female patient with cecal lymphangiomas detected by imaging modalities and confirmed via postoperative histopathological examination.
