    This summary is machine-generated.

    Mesenteric cysts, growths in the abdominal lining, often present varied symptoms and lack specific diagnostic tests. Surgical enucleation is generally effective, though bowel resection may be needed for mesocolonic cysts.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Mesenteric cysts present diagnostic challenges due to varied clinical manifestations.
    • These rare intra-abdominal tumors require careful consideration for optimal management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes for patients with mesenteric cysts.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical interventions for mesenteric cysts.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of nine patients treated for mesenteric cysts.
    • Review of patient records including diagnosis, surgical approach, and postoperative complications.

    Main Results:

    • The most frequent location for mesenteric cysts was the small bowel mesentery (67%).

  • Mesenteric cysts were incidental findings in 45% of cases.
  • Enucleation was the primary surgical treatment (88%), with two patients experiencing minor complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • Simple enucleation is a successful treatment for most mesenteric cysts.
    • Mesocolonic cysts may necessitate bowel resection if enucleation compromises vascular supply.
