Abstract: | Benign cystic tumors are rare intra-abdominal lesions that may be retroperitoneal, mesenteric, or omental. Most of them cause nonspecific symptoms, but rarely, they cause serious complications such as volvulus, rupture, or bowel obstruction. The diagnosis of these tumors can be made by abdominal ultrasonography or CT. Their only treatment is surgical excision, which can be done by either laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. In last decade, laparoscopic surgical approaches have replaced open procedures in many surgical abdominal diseases. In this paper, a patient with laparoscopically excised mesenteric cyst is presented along with a literature review. |
