Lymphatic malformations (LM) are rare benign tumours that falls under the larger umbrella of vascular tumours. Almost 90% of the cases are diagnosed within the first two years of life. Here we present two year old boy who presented acutely with abdominal pain and fever with tenderness over the right lower quadrant. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a large intra-peritoneal multicystic lesion. Patient underwent an elective laparotomy and excision of the lesion which was situated at left mesocolon. Intra-operative measurement of the tumour was only one third the size on initial imaging, which indicates a partially regressed tumour. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma (CL). Patient was well post-operatively and discharged within 5 days. We report a patient with CL at a rare site with partial regression managed successfully with surgical excision.
