Hemangiomas are congenital vascular disorders that occur primarily in the face and neck, extremely rare in the mesentery. Here, we report a rare small mesenteric mixed hemangioma. A 34-year-old woman was admitted to the gynecology department for an extended menstrual cycle. A cystic multi-atrial mass at the right anterior of uterus was observed by Ultrasound examination, which was about 12.5 × 9.5 × 14.9 cm in size. The gynecologist mostly considered the possibility of the ovarian cyst. However, there was a huge multi-atrial cyst in the small intestine mesentery without the right ovarian cyst in the surgical exploration. The grape-like cystic mass about 15 cm in diameter adhered to the mesenteric root of the small intestine. The cyst was diagnosed as the mesenteric mixed hemangioma in the final histopathology.
