Giant Mesenteric Hemangioma without Small Intestinal Involvement Report of a Case and Review of Literature
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
there were approximately twenty cases reported in the English literature, of which five cases were designated as giant hemangioma. We reported another giant mesenteric hemangioma, measuring 35x20x11 cm. with a weight of 5,5 Kilograms. The etiology of mesenteric hemangioma was still debatable. In our case, the patient only experienced mild abdominal pain, without gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Therefore, we were in favor of mesenteric origin as opposed to gastrointestinal origin. The symptoms were non-specific, ranging from abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal bleeding if Gastrointestinal tract was involved. Preoperative diagnosis was very challenging despite the modern images’ technics have become available, such as computed tomography magnetic resonance and ultrasonography. The final diagnoses of mesenteric hemangioma have been exclusively established by histological examination after surgical removal of the tumor. Surgical resection with clear margin is the treatment of choice.
