Abstract

Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal lesions. The lack of characteristic clinical features and radiological signs may present great diagnostic difficulties. Lymphangiomas can originate in any organ with less than 5% occurring in the abdominal cavity. They can occur anywhere in the small bowel or colonic mesentery. Here we present a 58-years-old female with abdominal discomfort, mild pain and abdominal fullness for four months. Radiologically, left adnexal neoplasm was suggested. Laparotomy was performed and left colon segment with huge mesenteric mass was found and resected. Confirmation of diagnosis as lymphangiomatous mesenteric cyst was done on histopathology.
