Mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal growths. This case report details successful surgical removal of a mesenteric cyst without bowel resection, offering a less invasive treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Mesenteric cysts are uncommon intra-abdominal lesions, with an incidence of 1 in 100,000 hospital admissions.
  • Differential diagnosis includes ovarian cysts, gastrointestinal duplications, and desmoid cysts.
  • Symptoms vary from asymptomatic to acute abdomen, depending on cyst size and location.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old woman presented with chronic abdominal pain.
  • Imaging studies suggested a mesenteric cyst.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration confirmed a mesenteric cyst.
  • The cyst was successfully enucleated via open surgery.
  • No bowel resection was required.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the possibility of conservative surgical management for mesenteric cysts.
