Abstract:
Lymphatic cyst of the mesentery is a rare lesion; one case per 100,000 hospital admissions is reported. A case of lymphatic cyst in a sixty-one-year-old woman is presented. The symptoms are extremely variable, not characteristic and correlated to the location and size of the cyst. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography may lead to a correct diagnosis, which is regularly made at the time of abdominal exploration. In this case the cyst was enucleated from the mesentery with open surgery.
