Özet
Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal tumors with prevalence 1:100.000-250.000 in hospital admissions. These are commonly located at the ileal mesentery, but they also can be found anywhere at the mesentery from the duodenum to the rectum. A 41-year-old Caucasian woman with vague abdominal discomfort and associated upper abdomen distention, during the last two years, without other symptoms as referred to our outpatient clinic with the diagnosis of liver cyst hydatid. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a complicated cystic structure sizing 139x93x68 mm primarily diagnosed as cyst hydatid originating from left lobe inferomedial part of the liver and reaching to gluteal muscle inferomedially. Right subcostal laparotomy was performed. Exploration of abdominal cavity revealed a cystic mass sizing 15 cm localized between stomach, duodenum and transverse colon. Liver was completely normal. The cyst was total extirpation also simple enucleation. Postoperative course was normal and she was discharged at 4th postoperative day. Histopathology of the excised specimen was suggestive of mesenteric cyst.
