A Rare Case of Cystic Hemolymphangioma Associated With Intestine Duplication

TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of an adult with two uncommon congenital conditions, cystic hemolymphangioma and intestine duplication, successfully treated with surgery.

Contribution

The novelty lies in the rare coexistence of these two congenital anomalies in an adult patient.

Findings

An adult female was diagnosed with both cystic hemolymphangioma and jejunal duplication.

Surgical excision of both lesions resulted in no recurrence after five years.

The case highlights the importance of considering rare congenital anomalies in adults.

Abstract

Cystic hemolymphangioma and jejunal duplication are both typically congenital conditions and primarily identified in childhood, making adult diagnoses exceedingly uncommon. Cystic hemolymphangioma and intestinal duplication together are particularly rare. In this report, we present the case of an adult female patient with both. A pedunculated mass was identified outside the jejunal wall, with duplicated intestine on the stalk and cystic hemolymphangioma within the mass. Both lesions were surgically excised, and the patient has remained recurrence-free for five years postoperatively.
