“…3). Ultrasonography can distinguish between plain and cystic masses, and CT determine extension and cystic content [13, 17, 37, 38]. The thickness of the cyst wall, the presence of septations, calcification and/or fat, and the cyst content associated with the presence of fluid-fluid levels or echogenic debris resulting from an old internal bleeding or hematoma are important findings to differentiate mesenteric cysts [19, 39, 40, 41, 42].…”

Objective: Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal masses generally omited or briefly reported in textbooks. Their rarity had fostered a lack of information and difficulty in classification. The goal of the study is to present a simple, comprehensive, and reproducible classification of mesenteric cysts. Methods: A large review of the literature with particular attention to recent series was performed in order to identify and characterize the different groups of mesenteric cysts. Results: Although cysts of lymphatic and mesothelial origin are those most frequently encountered, they were confounded or omitted in previous classifications. However, their distinction is important because their incidence and mode of presentation differ. Lymphangiomas predominate in male children, may cause acute abdominal pain, and frequently require resection of adjacent structures. In contrast, cysts of mesothelial origin such as benign cystic mesothelioma are seen more frequently in young and middle-aged women, usually present with more indolent symptoms, and often recurs. Conclusions: A new classification based essentially on histopathological features should include the 6 following groups: (1) cysts of lymphatic origin (simple lymphatic cyst and lymphangioma); (2) cysts of mesothelial origin (simple mesothelial cyst, benign cystic mesothelioma, and malignant cystic mesothelioma); (3) cysts of enteric origin (enteric cyst and enteric duplication cyst); (4) cysts of urogenital origin; (5) mature cystic teratoma (dermoid cysts), and (6) pseudocysts (infectious and traumatic cysts).

“…For his reason, it is not preferred. Basic aim in the treatment of mesenteric cysts is the total removal of cyst as recurrence rate following a succesful operation is very low (2)(3)6,12). Besides, it also provides additional advantage as total resection removes malign transformation (2,3,13).…”

“…Clinical complaints of patients may alter in accordance with the dimension of cysts, localizations and their relation with environmental tissues. Imaging methods, such as ultrasonogprahy (US) and computerized tomography (CT), would be sufficient in diagnosis and intra-abdominal localisaiton of mesenteric cysts (1)(2)(3). In order to eliminate recurrence risk, preferred treatment modality is complete surgical removal of the cysts (1).…”

“…Plain x-ray, barium studies, and intravenous urography have been used with limited success (11), but the findings of an echogenic inner mucosal layer and a hypoechoic outer layer on ultrasound confidently identify duplication cysts (12). Computerized tomography is useful in demonstrating more precisely the relationship between the cyst and surrounding structures (11,13).…”

A 52-year-old male presented with urinary symptoms of frequency and hesitation. X-rays, ultrasound, and computerized tomography investigations were performed that indicated the diagnosis and position of an enteric duplication cyst. Elective surgery was performed to completely remove the duplication cyst. Histological examination showed that the cyst was lined by stratified squamous, ciliated, and gastric-type epithelium, with a muscularis mucosae and a muscularis Propria. No malignancy or dysplasia was seen. Duplications of the alimentary tract are uncommon congenital abnormalities. They may be multiple and arise at any level from the mouth to the anus. Usually observed early in life, a minority may remain unsuspected until adulthood. The clinical presentations may be vague and diverse depending on their location. These include pain, distention, dysphagia, dyspepsia, and complications involve bleeding, perforation, malignancy, and obstruction of the alimentary tract and vessels. Plain x-rays are of limited use in the diagnosis of duplications but ultrasound findings may be diagnostic, with computerized tomography useful in delineating surrounding structures. Once the diagnosis is established, surgical correction is the treatment of choice, preferably with complete removal.
