Abstract
CABO RODRIGUEZ, Víctor et al. Mesenteric Lynphangioma in the pediatric ages. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2019, vol.91, n.1 ISSN 1561-3119.
Introduction:
Within the range of congenital malfomations that surgeons have to deal with, vascular tumors and malformations represent an special group of entities that are still under study.
Objective:
To determine the clinical-surgical characteristics of a series of two cases with congenital malformations of lymphatic origin.
Cases presentation:
Two patients of 12 and 4 years old respectively that were admitted in the Emergencies services in the Clinical-Surgical Hospital of Guayaquil, Ecuador, with manifestations of intestinal obstruction and abdominal cystic tumoral lesions that required surgical treatments with different techniques. Final evolution was satisfactory.
Conclusion:
Intestinal lymphoangiomas are part of the kinds of clinical presentations of lymphatic origin´s malformations. These have a low incidence but due to their localization and symptoms can require emergency surgical treatment. Their evolution and resolution is satisfactory due to the low index of recidive after complete exeresis.
