Most of them present as symptomless abdominal swellings or are found coincidentally during abdominal operations. One third of patients may present with acute abdominal pain, and few may present with chronic abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Mass

  Mesenteric cysts are uncommon abdominal masses in children. They occur most frequently in the small bowel mesentery and often contain chylous fluid. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Right Lower Quadrant Tenderness

  On initial examination, she was found to have significant right lower quadrant tenderness. Workup included computed tomography, which demonstrated a large cystic mass appearing to be of ovarian origin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If typical endosonographic images of an anechoic, septated lesion within colonic submucosa are obtained, further workup or treatment may not be necessary if the patient is asymptomatic. [researchgate.net]

We describe the treatment and outcome of a patient who underwent cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for the treatment of an incompletely resected mucinous cystadenocarcinoma originating from the colonic mesentery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A literature review of the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the mesenteric cyst is presented. This patient was treated with cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is excellent after surgery. Most children with mesenteric and omental cysts who undergo surgery have no long-term complications. Complications Wound infection—occurs rarely Recurrence—occurs rarely Updated: 11/2016 Author: Romeo C. [eapsa.org]

Following surgery, patient prognosis is excellent and recurrence is low. [mdmag.com]

The prognosis of patients operated in a timely manner is good with no perioperative mortality and a very low morbidity and recurrence rate. [7] Acknowledgments We thank all staff members of Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, DMIMSU [tropicalgastro.com]

They are considered as benign intra-abdominal tumors with an unknown etiology. Symptoms are not specific and knowledge of such condition is essential in order to establish a proper management. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cyst contents are sometimes related to their etiologic derivation. [mdmag.com]

Etiology lymphatic: simple lymphatic cyst and lymphangioma mesothelial: simple mesothelial cyst, benign cystic mesothelioma, and malignant cystic mesothelioma enteric: enteric cyst and enteric duplication cyst urogenital mature cystic teratoma (dermoid [radiopaedia.org]

The etiology of these cysts still remains unclear. It is often discussed that they are a result of degeneration of mesenteric lymphatics, or a congenital anomaly. [medresearch.in]

[…] with the embryonic retroperitoneal lymph sac; this makes them analogous to cystic hygromas, which arise in the neck in association with the jugular lymph sac. [13] Another proposed etiology is lymphatic obstruction [5] ; however, experimental occlusion [emedicine.medscape.com]

[…] mesentery of the colon. [18] Omental cysts are confined to the lesser or greater omentum. [6] Congenital omental cysts that present as abdominal distention have been reported. [19] Omental cysts may be a result of dermoid cysts [20] or teratomas. [21] Epidemiology [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology Mesenteric and omental cysts can be either simple or multiple and either unilocular or multilocular, and they may contain hemorrhagic, serous, chylous, or infected fluid. [7] The fluid is serous in ileal and colonic cysts and is chylous [emedicine.medscape.com]

Any incidental mesenteric cyst diagnosed during radiological examination should be removed completely, even if it has been asymptomatic, to prevent potential life-threatening complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
