Özet

Lymphangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract are seen very rarely, especially in adults. We herein present two cases of ileal lymphangioma,which were found during surgery. One case was a 43-year-old man with a palpable mass, and the other was a 19-year-old man who presented,with symptoms of pyloric stenosis. Although radiologic studies helped us, we could only be certain about the diagnosis after both the operation and histopathologic studies. We performed a total excision ,with ileal resection in both cases.
