“…There are no pathognomonic signs and symptoms of mesenteric cyst; However, paper presented by Santana et al 11 reporting 18 cases showed abdominal pain and mass (72%), vomiting and constipation; one patient presented with acute abdomen pain. Palpation usually presents itself painless, smooth contour and well defined with mobility in the transverse direction and around its axis (Tillaux signal) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The increase in abdominal volume is slow, progressive and late noticed in some cases, mingling with ascites in about 18-20%.…”

“…Once diagnosed, all mesenteric cyst should be resected in order to avoid their complications [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] , recurrence, malignant transformation and possible complications (hemorrhage, torsion, obstruction, traumatic rupture and infection) [8][9][10][11][12] . Internal drainage may be an option when there is possibility of short bowel syndrome.…”

“…The highest incidence is between the third and fourth decades of life, with 75% of those diagnosed after ten years with a slight female predominance. The term lymphangioma is appropriately used when there is hemodynamic isolation, or the injury is not related to the blood system [10][11][12][13] . Lymphangiomas are a major group of so-called vascular hamartomas, which result from a failure in the evolutionary development of the vascular system, including lymphatic and/or arteries and veins 3 .…”

A 29-year old female patient was presented to the our department with mild intermittent lower abdominal pain. Otherwise she was healthy and she did not report previous exposure to toxic chemical agents. After physical examination, laboratory investigation and imaging study there was abdominal mass. Surgery was done the resected mass sent for histological examination that confirm the diagnosis lymphangioma. Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system that account for about 5% of all benign tumors in infants and children. The most common sites are the neck and axilla, which account for 95% of cases. Lymphangiomas in the peritoneal cavity are extremely rare, particularly in adults. Most commonly arising from the mesentery followed by the omentum, mesocolon and retroperitoneum. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult due to the frequent silent clinical course. Radiological investigations are a useful diagnostic tool, but definitive diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology after a complete surgical resection

Mesenteric cysts were first described in 1507 and since then remain as a rare intraabdominal pathology. The etiology of this kind of tumor is still unclear and the classification remains controversial. They are usually asymptomatic, but can also cause acute abdominal pain and sometimes need emergency surgical approach. Clinical history, physical exam and complementary tests do not always provide diagnosis, which in many cases is made after surgery. Surgical management with complete excision of the cyst is the gold standard treatment. Laparoscopy technique should be preferred whenever is possible. The knowledge of these rare tumors is important for considering the correct approach. The goals of this article is to describe a case report of mesenteric cyst presented with acute abdominal pain at the emergency and do a brief literature review about this entity.
