[Mesenteric cysts in Denmark in 1980-86].

V J Jensen, K Hvid-Jacobsen

    Ugeskrift for Laeger
    |March 6, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Mesenteric cysts (MC) are rare gastrointestinal conditions. Diagnosis relies on ultrasound and CT scans, with surgical options including enucleation or marsupialization for effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Context:

    • Mesenteric cysts (MC) are rare intra-abdominal masses, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 130,000 hospital admissions.
    • These cysts can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract but are most commonly found in the small intestine mesentery.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the symptomatology, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for mesenteric cysts.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical interventions for mesenteric cysts.

    Summary:

    • Symptom presentation varies based on cyst location, mobility, size, and complications.
    • Ultrasonic scanning is the primary diagnostic tool, with computed tomographic (CT) scanning recommended preoperatively to assess cyst content.
    • Chylous cysts, comprising 5% of cases, have a malignancy potential of up to one-third.

    Impact:

    • Enucleation is the preferred surgical approach; however, internal marsupialization is a viable alternative for large or difficult-to-resect cysts.
    • Internal marsupialization demonstrates low recurrence rates and minimal complications, offering an effective therapeutic option.
