Mesenteric cysts are mostly congenital cysts of varied etiology. They occur twice as often in females than in males. They have varied clinical presentations. Most of them are asymptomatic, and a few present with abdominal mass, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) are essential in their diagnosis. These cysts may get complicated due to hemorrhage, torsion, rupture, or infection and may become life-threatening with features of acute abdominal pain and peritonitis. This is a case presentation of a 22-year-old Indian female who came with abdominal pain and was found to have an infected mesenteric cyst on laparotomy.

“…Mesenteric pseudocysts are benign lesions that are predicted to form due to lymph node inflammation, lymphatic obstruction, ectopic lymphoid tissue proliferation, congenital diseases, previous pelvic surgery or pelvic inflammatory disease. [1] Approximately 3% of these lesions follow a malignant course. [2] The predicted mechanism behind mesenteric pseudocysts is lymphatic or purulent material that fills between mesentery sheets as a result of infections or trauma forming a pseudocyst, the wall of which includes necrotic material, fibrin, macrophages and lympho-cytes with no epithelium in the inner lining.…”

[1] In order to avoid confusion with pancreatic pseudocysts, mesenteric pseudocysts are also called non-pancreatic pseudocysts. [3] Intraabdominal pseudocysts are first described in literature by Italian anatomist Benevenni in 1507 in the report of an autopsy performed on an 8-year old boy.…”

“…They are mostly observed in adults between 40-70, and in children under 10 years of age. [1] Usually, they are incidentally detected, yet can rarely be symptomatic. They can present with a mobile mass in the abdomen, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, constipation or diarrhea.…”

“…Acute abdomen due to rupture, intestinal obstruction or volvulus due to the pseudocysts have also been reported. [1,3,4] In this report, we present a 50 year-old woman with laparoscopically treated symptomatic mesenteric pseudocyst, and discuss the relevant literature.…”

Laparoscopic excision of jejunal mesenteric pseudocyst: Report of a case

Mesenteric pseudocysts are benign lesions with an unknown etiology. They can present with a moving mass in the abdomen, abdominal pain, or even acute abdomen. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mucinous cystadenoma, lymphangioma, endometriosis, mesenteric panniculitis, hydatid cyst, dermoid cyst, and peritoneal cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis. A 50-year-old female with hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented at the emergency room with intermittent abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass 5 cm in size in the left abdominal region. Laparoscopic exploration was performed and the mass was observed to the right of the ligament of Treitz above the jejunal mesentery. The mass was excised laparoscopically. Analysis of a frozen section indicated benign lesions. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day without any complications. There were no problems observed at the 6-month follow-up. Mesenteric pseudocysts are usually benign lesions and can be excised laparoscopically.
