This rare cystic lesion has an approximate incidence of 1 in 200,000. This patient complained of abdominal distension and was diagnosed with a giant mesenteric cyst measuring 26 cm in height using CT imaging. She underwent a successful ultrasound-guided drainage, which is not previously reported in the literature. This represents utilisation of an established procedure in a novel situation.

Article Synopsis
- - Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL) is a rare and aggressive subtype typically found in the retroperitoneum, with challenging diagnostics, especially when it occurs in the mesentery as documented in very few cases.
- - A 76-year-old woman was discovered to have a large mesenteric mass incidentally while being treated for pneumonia, leading to surgery where a tumor adherent to the intestine was removed and identified as intermediate-grade DDL.
- - The case emphasizes the need to include mesenteric DDL in the differential diagnosis of large abdominal masses, highlighting that complete surgical resection is crucial for treatment, alongside regular follow-ups due to its aggressive nature.
