Retroperitoneal and mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal tumors. This case series highlights their varied presentations, from accidental discovery to emergency surgical intervention for infected cysts.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal and mesenteric cysts are uncommon intra-abdominal neoplasms.
  • These cysts can present asymptomatically or with significant clinical manifestations.

Observation:

  • A case of an incidentally discovered large retroperitoneal cyst.
  • A case of a mesenteric cyst presenting with abdominal pain.
  • A case of a large mesenteric cyst requiring emergency admission due to infection.

Findings:

  • The diverse clinical presentations of retroperitoneal and mesenteric cysts.
  • The potential for asymptomatic discovery, symptomatic presentation, and complications like infection.
  • The importance of considering these rare entities in abdominal tumor diagnostics.

Implications:

  • Highlights the need for high clinical suspicion for rare abdominal cysts.
  • Emphasizes the varied diagnostic and management strategies required.
  • Contributes to the understanding of rare retroperitoneal and mesenteric cyst pathology.
