MARTINEZ-MONTALVO, Carlos Mauricio et al. Giant mesenteric cyst. Case report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.2, pp.257-262. Epub 25-Nov-2021. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.527.
A mesenteric cyst is a rare, mostly benign, intra-abdominal tumor. Treatment is almost always surgical and consists of removing the cyst and involved organs whenever possible to prevent recurrence. The following is the case of a 38-year-old patient with nonspecific abdominal pain and an ultrasound diagnosis of a giant retroperitoneal mass in the left medial paracolic gutter. The following imaging studies were performed: computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and endoscopy, finding a giant cystic lesion. An exploratory laparotomy was performed to remove the mass, and a histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis of mesenteric cyst.
