Introduction And Significance:
Mesenteric cysts are rare, non-cancerous tumors found mainly in children. The symptoms can vary depending on the size and location of the cyst. While the exact cause is unknown, complete surgical removal is the main and most effective treatment for mesenteric cysts.
Case Presentation:
Three cases involving young boys were presented. They primarily complained of abdominal swelling without pain. Radiological tests revealed mesenteric cysts near the jejunum and transverse colon, and another near the sigmoid colon, which were both successfully removed.
Clinical Discussion:
Despite being uncommon, mesenteric cysts should be considered when diagnosing abdominal masses in children.
Conclusion:
Surgical intervention is crucial for patients with mesenteric cysts. Complete surgical removal leads to a positive prognosis, even for large or complex cases. This stresses the importance of considering. Environmental factors are potential causes for the formation and development of these tumors.
