Abstract
We present a case of a giant mesenteric cyst successfully removed surgically. The rarity of such mesenteric cysts makes them difficult to diagnose clinically and pathologically. Simple mesenteric cysts need to be distinguished from lymphangiomas, hemangiomas, pancreatic pseudocysts, endometriomas, loculated ascites, peritoneal inclusion cysts (cystic mesothelioma), cystic mesenteric panniculitis, hydatid cysts, cystic teratomas and urogenital cysts of the mesentery. Complete enucleation of these cysts is considered the procedure of choice, to prevent complications, recurrence and possible malignant transformation.
