Haemangioma of the small bowel mesentery: a case report
Mesenteric haemangiomas are a rare manifestation of a common benign lesion. They present a diagnostic dilemma for multiple reasons, namely their low prevalence, vague clinical manifestations and atypical radiological features. However, they warrant investigation and management as they can lead to life-threatening complications such as in the case of rupture and haemoperitoneum. This report details the investigation and management pathway for a 64-year-old female presenting to our institution with a mesenteric haemangioma.
