Cystic lymphangioma of mesentery is rare and is usually described as isolated case reports. The exact etiology is obscure but is thought to be related to an abnormal development of lymphatic sacs with failure of communication with the central system. Clinical and laboratory findings are non-specific and ultrasonography, computed tomography and recently magnetic resonance imaging are introduced as valuable methods for assessment of abdomi- nal mass. Recently, authors experienced one case of cystic lymphangioma of duodenal mesentery which was operated under the impression of cystic tumor of pancreas tail by ultrasonographic and computed tomographic findings and herein report with literature review.
