Abstract

Objectives: We presented a rare case of lymphangioma in the colon with successful surgical removal. Methods: A case report of a 13-year-old female patient who was brought to Vietnam National Children’s Hospital with hematochezia severe normochromic microcytic anemia. Due to nonspecific symptoms, the patient was misdiagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and internal hemorrhoid. After approaching symptoms of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, the patient was done with colonoscopy and abdominal CT scanner, then was diagnosed with a lymphangioma of the sigmoid colon. Surgical resection of the bowel, which contains lymphatic malformation, was successful. Conclusion: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding and microcytic anemia are solitary colonic lymphangioma symptoms. Their diagnosis is established by colonoscopy and abdominal CT scanner. The main therapeutic option is surgical removal of the lesion.
