HighlightsMesenteric cysts are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal mesentery that are seldom symptomatic, often found incidentally.This is a rare case of a small mesenteric cyst presenting with abdominal pain secondary to intimate connection to the root of the mesentery.Including this study, multiple case reports and case series have been performed without consensus for best modality of treatment.This literature would benefit from a larger prospective study delineating treatment guidelines.
