Özet

Cystic lymphangiomas, which are localized on the mesentery of the intestine, are rarely seen. The presence of intestinal atresia together with cystic lymphangioma in the same location has never been described before. In this study, a premature girl weighing 2,630 g who had jejunal atresia, cystic lymphangioma localized in the mesentery of the distal atretic jejunal segment, and multiple rib anomalies is presented. The association of jejunal atresia and cystic lymphangioma may be coincidental, or jejunal atresia may be caused by an intrauterine vascular compression of volvuled cystic lymphangioma. Such an association is being reported for the first time in the literature.
