Overview Mesenteric cysts are uncommon intra-abdominal masses that can present with atypical abdominal symptoms. A rare type of mesenteric cyst is the mesenteric cystic lymphangioma (MCL), with fewer than 200 cases reported in the literature. MCLs are benign cystic masses of unknown etiology, but have the tendency to recur and invade neighboring structures. We report the case of a 47 year old male who underwent complete resection of an MCL and remained free of disease during 48 months of follow-up. The importance of early recognition and proper surgical management of this rare entity are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
