Abstract
FACUNDO, Helena and RODRIGUEZ, Carlos. Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the mesentery: Case presentation and literature review. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.4, pp.197-201. ISSN 0123-9015.
Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the mesentery are rare, have a lack of specific clinical findings, and are usually diagnosed incidentally as other mesenteric cysts. The case is reported on a 67 year-old woman with a mesenteric cyst erroneously classified preoperatively as an ovarian tumor. It was completely resected and histological review showed a mucinous cystadenoma. A review is performed on the literature and cases reported to date.
Keywords : Mesenteric cyst; Mucinous cystadenoma.
