The authors present a case report of a 3-month old infant with mesenteric multilocular lymphangioma. Two months after delivery, the

patient with palpable abdominal mass and remaining feeding problems, was admitted to the hospital for objective diagnosis. A magnetic

resonance imaging (MRI) study showed a large hypersignal mass in the right mesogastrium and hypogastrium surrounded with

numerous small spherical lesions. The peroperative laparotomy revealed a multilocular lymphangioma in the right side of abdomen

originated from the jejunal mesenterium. Partial jejunal resection with wedge-shaped cutting of responsible mesenterium with multilocular

lymphangioma was performed. The lymphangioma was confirmed by histological examination.

Keywords: cystic mesenteric lymphangioma, infant period.
