Abstract
A case of lymphangioma of the ileum which produced the signs and symptoms of partial
intestinal obstruction has been reported. It was cured by resection and end-to-end
anastomosis. A brief review of the literature discloses that this is among the rarest
of benign small intestinal tumors. Previously only two symptomatic cases had been
reported in the American literature. These caused gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Several
European reports of such tumors causing varying degrees of intestinal obstruction
were seen.
