Introduction: Mesenteric cysts are part of the differential diagnosis of abdominal tumors. We want to remember this diagnosis with the following case report.
Case Report: A 35-year-old woman was admitted for abdominal pain that had begun two weeks previously. Sonographic examination and CT scan of the abdomen showed a 14 x 12 x 3 cm abdominal tumor without any relation to the uterus, adnexa or organs of the epigastrium. Laparotomy was performed and the cystic tumor removed.
Discussion: Mesenteric cysts are rare. The pathogenesis is not uniform and the clinical and radiologic diagnosis is difficult. The symptoms of this condition vary from acute abdominal signs to non-specific abdominal features or incidental findings. Mesenteric cysts can be located anywhere in the mesentery from the duodenum to the rectum. The treatment of choice is resection.
Conclusions: Mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal conditions. The resection of the cyst and the verification of the diagnosis is the treatment of choice.
