| Core Tip |
Small bowel lymphatic malformations are rare, benign lymphatic tumors that present diagnostic challenges in adults due to nonspecific symptoms and varied imaging appearances. This report combines a rare ileal lymphatic malformation case with a scoping review of 97 adult cases, highlighting that abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding are the most common presentations. Computed tomography remains the mainstay for detection, but preoperative diagnosis is uncommon. Complete surgical excision, open or laparoscopic, is curative, with recurrence largely linked to incomplete removal. Heightened clinical suspicion, careful imaging interpretation, and radical resection are key to optimal outcomes. |
