“…Mesenteric pseudocysts are benign lesions that are predicted to form due to lymph node inflammation, lymphatic obstruction, ectopic lymphoid tissue proliferation, congenital diseases, previous pelvic surgery or pelvic inflammatory disease. [1] Approximately 3% of these lesions follow a malignant course. [2] The predicted mechanism behind mesenteric pseudocysts is lymphatic or purulent material that fills between mesentery sheets as a result of infections or trauma forming a pseudocyst, the wall of which includes necrotic material, fibrin, macrophages and lympho-cytes with no epithelium in the inner lining.…”

[1] In order to avoid confusion with pancreatic pseudocysts, mesenteric pseudocysts are also called non-pancreatic pseudocysts. [3] Intraabdominal pseudocysts are first described in literature by Italian anatomist Benevenni in 1507 in the report of an autopsy performed on an 8-year old boy.…”

“…They are mostly observed in adults between 40-70, and in children under 10 years of age. [1] Usually, they are incidentally detected, yet can rarely be symptomatic. They can present with a mobile mass in the abdomen, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, constipation or diarrhea.…”

“…Acute abdomen due to rupture, intestinal obstruction or volvulus due to the pseudocysts have also been reported. [1,3,4] In this report, we present a 50 year-old woman with laparoscopically treated symptomatic mesenteric pseudocyst, and discuss the relevant literature.…”

Mesenteric pseudocysts are benign lesions with an unknown etiology. They can present with a moving mass in the abdomen, abdominal pain, or even acute abdomen. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mucinous cystadenoma, lymphangioma, endometriosis, mesenteric panniculitis, hydatid cyst, dermoid cyst, and peritoneal cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis. A 50-year-old female with hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented at the emergency room with intermittent abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass 5 cm in size in the left abdominal region. Laparoscopic exploration was performed and the mass was observed to the right of the ligament of Treitz above the jejunal mesentery. The mass was excised laparoscopically. Analysis of a frozen section indicated benign lesions. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day without any complications. There were no problems observed at the 6-month follow-up. Mesenteric pseudocysts are usually benign lesions and can be excised laparoscopically.

A 64-year-old man with a chief complaint of abdominal pain was evaluated by his physician in April 2016. A CT scan showed a 12-cm lesion with low density in the abdomen. Colon perforation with abscess formation was diagnosed, and the patient was transported to our hospital. Contrast CT showed a well-demarcated lobular lesion without contrast enhancement, and some type of tumor was suspected. Abdominal ultrasound and MRI suggested a cystic lesion, but no definitive diagnosis could be reached. The patient remained symptomatic, and surgery was performed because a malignancy could not be ruled out. Laparotomy showed an elastic soft lesion in the right upper abdomen, a right hemicolectomy was performed, and the lesion was completely resected. Macroscopic examination showed a 12-cm cystic lesion filled with a yellow serous fluid. Histopathology showed a cyst wall comprised of fibrous connective tissue with inflammatory cells, but without epithelial cells. A mesenteric pseudocyst was diagnosed. Mesenteric pseudocysts are rare in adults. This case is reported, and the relevant literature is reviewed.
