Abstract

Introduction: Abdominal venolymphatic malformations are benign rare congenital lymphatic malformations with various presentations. Reported presentations include acute abdomen, intestinal obstruction, torsion, and traumatic hemorrhage.
Case Report: We present a case of a 36-week-gestational age female delivered via cesarean section secondary to developing intra-abdominal fluid on antenatal ultrasound. Subsequent imaging, exploratory laparotomy, and pathology were notable for a hemorrhagic left colonic mesenteric venolymphatic malformation with intra-abdominal fresh and coagulated blood.
Conclusion: Although rare, previous cases of abdominal venolymphatic malformation have been described. This is the first reported case of spontaneous intrauterine hemorrhage requiring urgent cesarean section.

Keywords: Abdominal, Congenital, Hemorrhage, Prenatal, Venolymphatic malformation
