    Mesenteric cysts, often found in children presenting with acute abdominal pain, are typically congenital lymphatic malformations. These cysts can become symptomatic due to inflammation, bleeding, or other complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal masses, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging, frequently occurring during surgical exploration for acute abdominal conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of mesenteric cysts.
    • To elucidate the histopathological features and potential origins of these lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 7 new cases of mesenteric cysts.
    • Comprehensive literature review of 54 previously documented cases.
    • Histopathological examination of cyst wall composition.

    Main Results:

    • Most cases presented with acute abdomen, with nearly half of patients under 11 years old.
    • Cysts were unilocular, multilocular, or multiple, often containing chylous fluid.
    • Histology revealed lymphatic tissue and vessels; inflammation/bleeding altered the typical endothelial lining.

    Conclusions:

    • Mesenteric cysts are likely congenital lymphatic malformations, with trauma or inflammation potentially triggering symptoms.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing symptomatic mesenteric cysts.
