This case report details an omental cyst in a young girl, diagnosed via ultrasonography and successfully treated with surgical excision. The study highlights the diagnostic and management approach for this rare abdominal mass.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Omental cysts are rare intra-abdominal cystic lesions, often asymptomatic or presenting with non-specific symptoms.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to their rarity and varied presentations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of omental cyst in a pediatric patient.
  • To illustrate the diagnostic utility of ultrasonography in identifying omental cysts.
  • To discuss the management and review relevant literature.

Main Methods:

  • A case presentation of a young girl with abdominal distension and urinary symptoms.
  • Pre-operative diagnosis using ultrasonography.
  • Surgical management via exploratory laparotomy and cyst excision.

  • Histopathological confirmation of the omental cyst.

    • Main Results:

    • Ultrasonography successfully identified the omental cyst.
    • Complete surgical excision of the cyst was achieved.
    • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of an omental cyst.
    • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Omental cysts, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric abdominal masses.
    • Ultrasonography is a valuable tool for pre-operative diagnosis.
    • Surgical excision is the definitive treatment for symptomatic omental cysts.
