“…Children usually present with acute abdomen, while adults have more indolent symptoms [ 6 ]. The cyst complications that can lead to an acute abdominal presentation can be spontaneous rupture, infection, hemorrhage, cyst torsion, herniation of the cyst, intestinal ischemia and abdominal obstruction by compression of the lesion [ 1 , 7 , 8 , 10 ]. In more than 50% of the cases an abdominal mass can be palpable on the physical examination [ 1 , 6 , 9 ].…”

Mesenteric cysts were first described in 1507 and since then remain as a rare intraabdominal pathology. The etiology of this kind of tumor is still unclear and the classification remains controversial. They are usually asymptomatic, but can also cause acute abdominal pain and sometimes need emergency surgical approach. Clinical history, physical exam and complementary tests do not always provide diagnosis, which in many cases is made after surgery. Surgical management with complete excision of the cyst is the gold standard treatment. Laparoscopy technique should be preferred whenever is possible. The knowledge of these rare tumors is important for considering the correct approach. The goals of this article is to describe a case report of mesenteric cyst presented with acute abdominal pain at the emergency and do a brief literature review about this entity.
