Toxic association between an intestinal myxoma and a mesenteric lipoma in a child: a case report.

Intestinal myxoma is among the rarest presentations of this benign tumour. Moreover, the association of an intestinal myxoma and a mesenteric lipoma is even more surprising. Intestinal tumours are often diagnosed inadvertently: a routine physical exam may identify these tumours or an abdominal computed tomography scan or abdominal ultrasound for another indication. Acute intestinal obstruction is rare. We hereby report the case of a 6-year-old boy who presented in the emergency room of our institution with acute intestinal obstruction and the management of this case.
