Intra-abdominal cysts and pseudocysts are rarely occurring lesions. Their incidence is reported to be 1 per 100 000-250 000 hospitalizations. The lesions' rarity and their mostly asymptomatic development causes troubles in early recognition and treatment. The patients' complaints are unspecific and mostly occur when the cysts are enlarged. Sometimes these entities may cause signs of peritoneal irritation and be the reason for immediate operation. It may happen in the event of cyst rupture, torsion, haemorrhages into the lesion or signs of compression of neighbouring structures. Many radiological methods are helpful in revealing intra-abdominal cysts. Unfortunately they cannot accurately distinguish the character of the lesion. The most common surgical procedure of treatment is excision during laparotomy. However, in some cases the laparoscopic approach can be equal to open surgery. This article presents a case of a young woman with a large intra-abdominal pseudocyst treated with laparoscopy.

Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal masses which can occur at any point in the gastrointestinal tract from the duodenum to the rectum. These cysts may remain asymptomatic or may present with an abdominal mass, abdominal pain, or fever. Management may be conservative, percutaneous, or surgical excision.

Adipose tissue dysfunction is one of the features of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) with dysregulated adipogenesis, altered functional pathways and increased inflammation. It is increasingly clear that there are also male correlates of the hormonal and metabolic features of PCOS. We hypothesised that the effects of adipose tissue dysfunction are not sex-specific but rather fat depot-specific and independent of obesity.

Introduction And Importance: Mesenteric cysts are a rare group of intra-abdominal tumors located in the mesentery or omentum, most of this lesion are asymptomatically but occasionally presents with non-specific symptoms, which makes diagnosis difficult.
Case Presentation: We present two cases of giant mesenteric cyst in our Institution, the first case is a women of 23 years with previous gynecologic surgery with chronic abdominal pain and large abdominal mass CT showed a giant intraabdominal 30 × 25 × 15 cm, the patient went to laparotomy and a large mesenteric tumor found. The Histopathology reported a Benign cyst mesothelioma (BCM).

Article Synopsis
- * The condition is characterized by oxidized hemoglobin (ferric state), leading to symptoms like low blood oxygen levels, hypoxia, and distinct chocolate-colored blood.
- * A case study highlights how cetrimide, used in abdominal surgeries for hydatid cysts, can trigger severe methaemoglobinaemia, which often goes undiagnosed but has a high risk of mortality.

Study Question: What is the significance of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its impact on the regulation of metabolic disorders in women with PCOS?
Summary Answer: We revealed a potentially causal relationship between increased genetically predicted VAT and PCOS-related traits, and found that VAT exhibited impaired glucose metabolism and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in women with PCOS.
What Is Known Already: PCOS is a common reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by many metabolic abnormalities. Adipose tissue is a metabolically active endocrine organ that regulates multiple physiological processes, and VAT has a much stronger association with metabolism than subcutaneous adipose tissue does.
