TL;DR: A case of a lymphatic cyst in which the characteristic presence of a mixture of chyle and lymph gave rise to an appearance on computed tomography (CT) which proved helpful in the pre-operative assessment.
Abstract: Mesenteric cysts are uncommon and of varied aetiology. They may be derived from the gastrointestinal tract, the genitourinary system, previous inflammation (pseudocysts) or malignant cystic tumours, but the commonest cause is generally considered to be a congenital lymphatic cyst. Pre-operative differentiation is clearly desirable. We describe a case of a lymphatic cyst in which the characteristic presence of a mixture of chyle and lymph gave rise to an appearance on computed tomography (CT) which proved helpful in the pre-operative assessment. Review of the literature suggests that the findings are diagnostic.

TL;DR: A case of chylolymphatic cyst in a 1½-month-old child, which is a rare entity, is reported in the literature.
Abstract: Mesenteric cysts are uncommon cystic lesions with variable clinical presentations. These are infrequently encountered lesions reported both in children and in adults. Chylolymphatic cysts are rare variants of mesenteric lesions and constitute 7.3%–9.5% of all abdominal cysts. Very few cases of pediatric chylolymphatic cysts have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of chylolymphatic cyst in a 1½-month-old child, which is a rare entity.

TL;DR: A 3-month old infant that was admitted to the Emergency Department due to repeated vomiting was diagnosed with cystic lymphangioma type III, according to Lozanoff classification.
Abstract: Chylolymphatic mesenteric cysts are extremely rare among children. Herein we report a case of a 3-month old infant that was admitted to the Emergency Department due to repeated vomiting. Preoperative ultrasonography demonstrated the presence of a thin-walled multiloculated cystic lesion in the right abdomen. Patient underwent then elective surgical excision. Histopathological examination documented the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma type III, according to Lozanoff classification.
