Abstract EN
Mesenteric cysts are rare benign abdominal tumors, and they can appear anywhere in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract, from the duodenum to the rectum.
They are generally asymptomatic and may present as an incidental finding.
The diagnosis is confirmed by the laparotomy findings and the results of the histopathological examination.
Complete surgical (open or laparoscopic) enucleation of the cyst is the treatment of choice.
We present a case of a female patient who presented with abdominal pain and a giant palpable abdominal mass.
The patient underwent a surgical exploration which showed a giant mesenteric cyst.
A complete surgical enucleation of the cyst was successfully performed without the need of bowel resection.
The histopathological examination of the cyst was compatible with the diagnosis of chylous mesenteric cyst.
