Several processes including bladder distention or diverticulum, hydronephrosis, nonpancreatic pseudocyst (1), large uterine or ovarian tumors (24), and giant mesenteric (5, 6), omental (7, 8) and echinococcal cysts (9) can mimic ascites. Giant intra-abdominal cysts and pseudocysts have become comparatively rare because of advances in health care systems. Nonetheless, when they occur, they are often misdiagnosed as ascites (1, 2, 7, 8, 10). Cystic lesions of the omentum, mesentery and retroperitoneum are distinctly uncommon in children (7). Despite a propensity for life-threatening complications, their rarity ranks them low in the diagnostic options in a child presenting with an abdominal mass. Ovarian cysts are a common pathology after the fourth decade of life. Smaller functional and non-neoplastic cysts can be seen or larger tumoral cysts, which, however, are usually benign. They may be serous or mucinous type and can sometimes reach giant sizes (2, 3).
