Introduction:
Cystic lymphangioma is a benign malformative tumor. The abdominal localization is rare. The diagnosis is not easy in preoperative period. The surgery is the choice in the abdominal and symptomatic localization.
Presentation of case:

The ultrasound showed a multiloculated cyst which measured 130*80 mm. the CT scan showed a mesenteri cyst mass measured 15 cm. A fine needle aspiration cytology guided by abdominal ultrasound was realized and the cytology doesn't show malignant cell. A median laparotomy found a mesenteric cystic mass measured 15 cm of diameter. A resection was realized. The histologic exam membranous fibrosis cyst limited by an endothelium.
Conclusion:
Mesenteric localization of cyst lymphagioma is rare. The surgery is safe and efficiency for the treatment.
