Abstract

Hemolymphangioma or hemangiolymphangioma is a rare venolymphatic vascular malformation composed of proliferations or networks of vascular spaces including the lymphatics, capillaries, veins, or arteries. The small bowel is a rare location for hemolymphangioma, and the small bowel mesentery is an even rarer site. Herein, we report a surgically confirmed large complex hemolymphangioma in the small bowel mesentery in a 55-year-old male.

혈관림프종은 혈관종과 림프종 성분으로 구성된 드문 종양으로, 증식된 림프관, 모세혈관, 정맥 또는 동맥과 둘러싸는 결합조직 기질로 구성되어 있다. 소장 기원의 혈관림프종은 매우 드물고 그중 소장 장간막 기원은 극히 드물다. 본 증례 보고에서 수술과 면역 화학 염색을 통하여 확인된 55세 남자 환자의 소장 장간막의 혈관림프종 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
