Abstract

A rare case of cecal lymphangioma which presented as intussusception was reported. The patient was a 28-year-old female who suffered from vomiting, abdominal pain and mass for 6 days. Ultrasonography revealed a multilocular cyst that measured 7 cm in maximal diameter, and an adjacent target-like mass with concentric layering in the right abdomen. Computed tomography confirmed the sonographic findings with fatty component in the target-like mass. Intussusception in adults is a diagnostic challenge to a physician due to its vague and nonspecific presentations. Laparatomy is indicated because of underlying pathology in a vast majority of cases. Diagnosis can be established by the characteristic findings mentioned above.
