Paraovarian cysts are cystic lesions occurring adjacent to the ovaries in women of reproductive age group. We present a case of a 30 year old female presenting with a lump in the abdomen. She was initially suspected on clinical and radiological examination to have a mesenteric cyst. However, exploratory laparotomy revealed it to be a paraovarian cyst. Histopathology confirmed it to be serous cy...

In February 2007, a 41-year-old Japanese male was admitted to our hospital with increasing upper abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen demonstrated a well-demarcated, hypodense cystic mass with a thickened wall in the mesocolon. The laboratory results were within normal limits, except for increased carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, D...

Chylolymphatic cyst is one of the rare variants mesenteric cysts. These cysts are present within mesentery and contain chylous or lymphatic fluid. in paediatric age group. We a case four years old boy who presented with features acute intestinal obstruction. CECT abdomen revealed hypodense cystic mass peritoneal cavity. Exploratory laparotomy solitary measuring 10.7 cm x 9.4 10.5 which was adhe...

INTRODUCTION A peritoneal simple mesothelial cyst is a very rare mesenteric cyst of mesothelial origin. The size of this lesion usually ranges between a few centimeters and 10 cm. It is usually asymptomatic, but occasionally presents with various, non-specific symptoms, which makes correct pre-operative diagnosis difficult. We present a case of a giant peritoneal simple mesothelial cyst that wa...

The evidence of risk for birth defects due to artificial reproductive technology (ART) cycles is not yet clear. However, there may be a possible link between ART cycles and epigenetic abnormalities. Abdominal cysts are rarely seen pathologies after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. A giant mesenteric cyst was diagnosed in one of the ICSI twins by ultrasonograhic examination at 14t...

Mesenteric cysts are uncommon entities and chyle- (lymph-) containing cysts are the rarest of this group. This is a case report of a 4-year-old boy with a mesenteric chylous cyst who was later found to have Histoplasma capsulatum infection.

Mesenteric dermoid cysts are a rare cause of abdominal pain. Although dermoid cysts occur in many parts of the body there have been only a few case reports involving the bowel mesentery. We present a case of a symptomatic mesenteric dermoid cyst involving the ileocaecal junction in a child.

Mesenteric cysts are heterogeneous groups of lesions. Most of them are developmental cysts of lymphatic and enteric origin or cystic neoplasm such as mesothelioma or cystic teratoma. Urogenital cysts are a subcategory of developmental cysts of the mesentery. They are thought to arise from vestigial remnants of urogenital apparatus. These cysts may show evidence of mesonephric or metanephric dif...

Alimentary tract duplications are epithelial-lined cystic or tubular structures attached to bowel wall and supplied by mesenteric vessels. Association between intestinal malrotation and duplication cyst, especially of jejunal location is rarely mentioned in literature [1-5]. We are reporting a rare coexistence of isolated jejunal duplication cyst and malrotation in a neonate with intestinal obs...
