Abstract |
|
|
Hemolymphatic malformation is a malformation of both the lymphatic and the blood vessels. The authors encountered such a 2-year-old boy of a rare mesenteric cystic hemolymphatic malformation with adjacent jejunal invasion which was detected during a work-up for fever on sonography and was removed with laparoscopic assistance. The ready availability of the sonography made an early diagnosis of the rare disease possible, and the refinements of the minimally invasive surgery provided the least invasive treatment in the small child.
