“…24,25 The procedure of choice for benign mesenteric cyst is complete enucleation. 12 Localized resection of intestine or surrounding structures may be required to excise the cyst en bloc; 26 our case did not require this step. Wiesen et al 27 described the complete enteroscopic excision of a mesenteric chylous cyst that developed in the lumen of the proximal jejunum.…”

Mesenteric cysts are uncommon benign abdominal lesions with no classical clinical features. The preoperative diagnosis requires the common imaging modalities but the final diagnosis is established only during surgery or histological analysis. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision. We report an 18-year-old female with a non-specific abdominal pain and discomfort since 3 weeks. Her CT scan showed a huge cystic swelling, which necessitated surgical exploration. Preoperatively, a giant cyst was encountered with displacement of bowel loops. The cyst was completely removed and histology report confirmed mesenteric cyst without evidence of malignancy.

“…Some authors performed laparoscopic fenestration of the cyst, if located near a major abdominal vessel. 26 Tebala et al 28 performed successful laparoscopic excision of a huge mesenteric chylous cyst in a 58-year-old man. Similarly, Shimura et al 11 and Vu et al 29 have reported laparoscopic excision of mesenteric cysts.…”

“…A preoperative diagnosis may be achieved using imaging techniques (ultrasonography, CT, nuclear MRI) [9], [10], [11]. Ultrasonography is the first-line technique, as it can localize the cystic mass and often the involvement of the near anatomical structures.…”

HighlightsSingle-incision laparoscopic surgery has been performed for resection of benign and malignant gastrointestinal tumors in recent years; however, its safety and feasibility is still controversial, and there have been no reports of its use in resecting mesenteric cysts.This report deals with the first case of a mesenteric chylous cyst successfully treated by single-incision laparoscopic surgery.

“…The first effective surgical treatment of a mesenteric cyst was performed in 1880s by Tillaux [ 2 ]. In 1897, O'Conor described the marsupialization of a chylous mesenteric cyst by suturing its edges to the skin [ 4 , 5 ]. Wiesen et al .…”

“…Wiesen et al . [ 5 ] reported the complete enteroscopic excision of a mesenteric chylous cyst developing into the lumen of the proximal jejunum. Some authors performed laparotomic or laparoscopic fenestration of the cyst, if it is located near a major abdominal vessel, but such a surgical option should be avoided due to the risk of malignancy [ 10 ].…”

A mesenteric cyst is defined as a cyst that is located in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract and may extend from the base of the mesentery into the retroperitoneum. It is often asymptomatic and therefore it is usually found as an incidental finding. Preoperative diagnosis may be possible with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, the correct diagnosis can only be made with histology. The first-choice therapy is the complete removal of the cyst, which must be accurately planned according to the anatomy of the lesion, its dimensions and its relationships with major abdominal structures. We present two clinical cases: the one of a 30-year-old man with a mesenteric cyst that was removed by laparoscopy and the other of a 61-year-old woman who underwent open excision of a huge retroperitoneal cyst.
