Mesenteric cysts are rare benign abdominal tumors. These cysts, especially those of lymphatic origin, very rarely become inflamed. The diagnosis of inflamed lymphatic cysts of the mesentery may be difficult. We herein report two cases of inflamed simple lymphatic cysts of the mesentery definitively diagnosed and excised by laparoscopy.
Ovarian cysts autoamputation is an extremely rare complication. All reported cases were removed by laparotomy. A successful laparoscopic removal is presented.
