Mesenteric cysts are rare tumors, they can emerge from any part of the mesentery of the bowel from the duodenum to the rectum. Their symptomatology can mimic almost any abdominal disease making diagnosis troublesome. In some circumstances, these cysts can grow to considerable sizes making resection almost impossible since its size can compromise different structures. Surgery is the treatment of choice as complete resection is the only curative treatment. We present a case of a female patient, she suffered from recurrent episodes of abdominal pain mistaken as gastritis. After a profound evaluation, a giant mass in her abdomen was identified and successfully treated. Giant primary mesenteric cyst was the final diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
