Mesothelial Cyst of the Round Ligament Mimicking a Metastasis: a Case Report

Abstract: A mesothelial cyst of the round ligament is a rare cause of an inguinal mass. Clinically, it is frequently misdiagnosed as one of commoner diseases such as an inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, lipoma, and lymphadenopathy upon physical examination. Some previous reports elaborated the sonographic features of a mesothelial cyst of the round ligament. However, to our knowledge, few reports have described the CT features of a mesothelial cyst. We illustrated here the sonographic and multidetector CT features of a c… Show more

“…Estas lesiones están asociadas a una estructura similar a un tallo, que es su conexión a la cavidad peritoneal 3,8,9 . La tomografía computada revela una masa quística con una pared irregular engrosada y con reforzamiento de las partes sólidas con el medio de contraste intravenoso 1,3 . La imagen puede proporcionar una mejor orientación anató-mica de la masa que surge desde el ligamento redondo y puede ser útil para el diagnóstico diferencial de las diversas masas en la región inguinal 3,10 .…”

“…La mayoría de los pacientes se encuentran entre la tercera y la cuarta déca-das de la vida, aunque pueden presentarse en pacientes más jóvenes 1 . El ligamento redondo del útero se origina en ambos cuernos uterinos, que abandonan la pelvis vía anillo inguinal profundo, pasando a través del canal inguinal y continúan hasta los labios mayores 3,4 . En la 7. a semana de gestación, el pliegue inguinal fetal se diferencia en el gubernaculum, el cual desciende desde el polo inferior de las gónadas, hasta las protuberancias labioescrotales.…”
