Abstract
We herein report a case of jejunal lymphangioma. A CT scan showed non-enhancing cystic masses in the jejunum. Enteroscopy revealed multiple cystic swelling with whitish carpet-like villi. Histopathology disclosed dilated lymphatic channels, lined by a single layer of endothelial cells, which were positive for the lymphatic endothelial marker by the immunohistochemical staining. Clinical manifestations of intestinal lymphangioma are briefly discussed.
