Mesenteric cyst: an acute presentation
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
It can be clinically challenging to diagnose a mesenteric cyst due to its diverse mode of presentation and rarity of the condition. Here we report a 15 year old girl who presented with acute pain abdomen and a firm tender lump palpable in the left side of the abdomen. CT imaging showed features suggestive of a teratoma. On exploratory laparotomy we found a large thick walled mass arising from the root of mesentery. The tumor was excised in toto, histopathological examination revealed a benign mesenteric cyst. Complete excision of the cyst is mandatory whenever possible due to fear of malignant transformation and reduces risk of recurrence.
