Lymphangioma (cystic hygroma) is benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic system commonly present in the neonate or in early infancy. The cysts are generally filled with clear lymph and the commonest site is neck. We present a case of unusual giant lymphangioma of the breast in an adult female. The relevant literature is briefly revived.

Mesenteric cysts are not uncommon in pediatric age group but giant lymphatic cysts of mesentery are reported infrequently. This is a report of 18 months old child who had distension of abdominal and anemia since three months. Investigations revealed E/O lymphatic cyst? Mesenteric cyst? Large cystic mass in abdomen. On exploration large lymphatic cyst in the mesentery of sigmoid colon found. The cyst was multilocular and appeared to be the collection of lymph (chyle) between the mesentery of sigmoid colon. It is postulated malformation of lymphatic at the root of mesentery might have lead to this pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
