Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Mesenteric and omental mesothelial cysts are rare intra-abdominal masses. Surgical resection and histopathologic examination confirmed an infarcted mesothelial cyst, resolving the patient's symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Mesenteric and omental mesothelial cysts are rare, presenting diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and overlapping imaging features.
  • These cysts are infrequently encountered, often leading to delayed or missed diagnoses in the differential for abdominal pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of an infarcted mesothelial cyst presenting as abdominal pain.
  • To highlight the diagnostic difficulties and the role of histopathology in confirming mesothelial cysts.

Main Methods:

  • A 41-year-old male with abdominal pain underwent CT imaging, which revealed a mesenteric mass.
  • Exclusion of neuroendocrine tumors was performed via laboratory tests.
  • Laparoscopic resection of the 4x2cm mass was conducted, followed by histopathologic examination.

Main Results:

  • Histopathology confirmed the mass as an infarcted mesothelial cyst.
  • The patient experienced complete symptom resolution post-surgery and remains well.

Conclusions:

  • Intra-abdominal cystic masses, including mesothelial cysts, pose diagnostic challenges due to rarity and nonspecific presentations.
  • Surgical excision and subsequent histopathological analysis are crucial for definitive diagnosis.
  • Symptom resolution post-resection supports local mass effect as the etiology.
