Abstract
Herein is a case of a congenitally diagnosed mesenteric lymphatic malformation involving nearly the entire small bowel and colon. Although drainage and sclerotherapy were initially performed, extensive small and large bowel resection was ultimately necessary. A review of the literature is provided with a discussion of potential and optimal treatment modalities.
