Abstract
We report a new case of nonpancreatic pseudocyst located in the mesentery in a 39-year-old woman whose personal history was unremarkable.She came to the Emergency Room with symptoms of acute abdomen. Abdominal ultrasound revealed the presence of a thick-walled cystic lesion at the level of the mesogastrium, containing echogenic material and a fluid-fluid level. Subsequent computed tomography showed that the wall was enhanced by the contrast material and that the lesion arose from the mesentery. There was also a great amount of free peritoneal fluid.The patient underwent emergency surgery to excise a perforated mesenteric cyst.The pathological study of the excised tissue resulted in a diagnosis of mesenteric pseudocyst.
