ABSTRACT


Introduction: A mesenteric cyst is a cystic lesion that arises in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract from the duodenum to the rectum but most commonly developed in the small bowel mesentery. They develop in both adults and children but usually diagnosed during the fifth decade of life.

Case Report: A 31-year-old male presented to Emergency Department with left iliac fossa pain without any other associated symptoms. His medical, surgical and family history was not significant. No history of previous abdominal operation. Abdominal ultrasonography showed mass in right iliac. Computed tomography revealed a large rounded mesenteric cyst seen in the left lumbar region measuring 10x10x9 cm with thin enhancing wall. The mass was excised by laparoscopy with healthy margins and the specimen was sent for pathological examination. The histopathological findings were suggested of pseudocyst.

Conclusion: A mesenteric cyst in adult is extremely rare benign intra-abdominal pathology. Surgical excision is optimal treatment of mesenteric cyst with either laparotomy or laparoscopy.
