A huge retroperitoneal lymphatic cyst presenting as a mesenteric cyst, managed laparoscopically

We report an interesting case of extraovarian, primary seromucinous cystadenoma, which presented as a mesenteric cyst. A 31-year-old woman came with complaints of lower abdominal pain for 2 years, which is intermittent and aggravated during the menstrual cycle. On examination, her vitals were within normal limits; per abdominal examination revealed 7×7 cm mass in the right lumbar and right hypochondrium with well-defined margins. A Contrast-enhanced whole abdomen done showed a thin-walled of cyst of size 7×8×9 cm in the right lumbar region abutting and replacing the mesenteric border of ascending colon suggesting of mesenteric cyst. Patient underwent laparoscopic excision of mesenteric cyst. Histopathology revealed seromucinous cystadenoma without ovarian stroma.

Radiologic Features

The pathologic, clinical and radiologic features, diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric cysts in infancy and childhood, based upon a study of 82 cases in the literature, are discussed. An additional case of mesenteric cyst is presented. Mesenteric cysts were usually noted in male children from 2 to 10 years of age, presenting with abdominal enlargement and abdominal pain, and revealing characteristic roentgenographic findings. Excision of the cyst was often complicated by adhesions to the intestinal wall; simultaneous resection of the involved intestine has become a safe procedure, with an operative mortality of 7% in recent years.

Sigmoid Mesocolon

Mesenteric cysts are rare and occur in patients of any age. They are asymptomatic and found incidentally or during the management of their complications. They commonly originate from the small bowel mesentery, although a proportion of them have been found to originate from the mesocolon (24%) and the retroperitoneum [1] [2,3,4,5] (14.5%). A mesenteric cyst originating in the sigmoid mesocolon is a very rare nding. They are a rare cause of abdominal pain and are discovered incidentally. If symptomatic, patients with these cysts present with abdominal pain, vomiting and low backache. Performing a thorough physical examination and conducting radiological investigations like ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) are keys in diagnosing the mesenteric cysts.
