Mesenteric cysts are uncommon benign abdominal tumors that may extend from the root of the mesenteric layers of the gastrointestinal tract into the retroperitoneum or the peritoneal cavity; they are usually asymptomatic and often represent an occasional finding. Definitive diagnosis is confirmed by the surgical intraoperative view and by histopathological examination. Surgical excision of the cyst is the treatment of choice.

Abstract
Mesenteric cysts are uncommon benign abdominal tumors that may extend from the root of the mesenteric layers of the gastrointestinal tract into the retroperitoneum or the peritoneal cavity; they are usually asymptomatic and often represent an occasional finding. Definitive diagnosis is confirmed by the surgical intraoperative view and by histopathological examination. Surgical excision of the cyst is the treatment of choice. We present a case of a female patient who presented with back pain and a palpable abdominal mass. Due to large size of the mass and its contiguity with midline, patient underwent an hybrid combined surgical technique, with a first open phase followed by a laparoscopic excision. Complete surgical removal of the cyst was successfully performed without bowel resection, intraoperative spillage of cystic content and without morbidity. Histopathology confirmed diagnosis of simple mesenteric cyst. We strongly recommend a combined approach whenever a large intraperitoneal benign cystic lesion has been diagnosed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
