Introduction: Uterine mesothelial cysts represent a diagnostic challenge because of their low incidence, with very few cases reported in the English literature.
Patient Concerns: We report the case of a 27-year-old nullipara woman complaining of self-discovery of a mass in the abdomen for 1 week. Supersonic examination revealed a pelvic cystic lesion measuring 8.9 × 8.2 cm. The patient underwent exploratory single-port laparoscopic surgery and had a large uterine cystic mass located within the posterior wall of the uterus.
Diagnosis: After excision of the uterine cyst, the final histopathological diagnosis was uterine mesothelial cyst.
Interventions: We treated her with a single-port laparoscopic uterine cystectomy.
Outcomes: Close follow-up of the case for 2 years showed that the patient was free of any symptoms, and no recurrence was noted.
Lessons: Uterine mesothelial cysts are extremely rare. They are often misdiagnosed by clinicians as extrauterine masses or cystic degeneration of leiomyomas. This report aims to share a rare case of uterine mesothelial cyst and improve gynecologists' academic vision of the disease.

Article Synopsis
- Mesothelial cysts in the uterus are extremely rare; a 41-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain and imaging revealed a cystic mass in her uterus.
- The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery, where a 7 cm cystic lesion was found in the uterine wall.
- Pathological tests confirmed it was a mesothelial cyst, emphasizing that these cysts can resemble other conditions and are best diagnosed through surgical removal and examination.

Endometriosis is a debilitating disease affecting 190 million women worldwide and the greatest single contributor to infertility. The most broadly accepted etiology is that uterine endometrial cells retrogradely enter the peritoneum during menses, implant and form invasive lesions in a process analogous to cancer metastasis. However, over 90% of women suffer retrograde menstruation, but only 10% develop endometriosis, and debate continues as to whether the underlying defect is endometrial or peritoneal.

Adenomatoid tumors are rare benign neoplasms arising from mesothelial cells, commonly found in the female genital system, particularly the uterus and fallopian tubes. The giant cystic variant of adenomatoid tumor is exceptionally rare and can cause massive growth mimicking malignant gynecological conditions. Histology and immunohistochemistry play a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis, with markers such as calretinin, D2-40, CK7, BAP1, ER, and WT1 proving useful.
