Surgical Management of Mesenteric Cyst in Infra Hepatic Area: A Case Report

Mesenteric or mesothelial peritoneal cysts (PMC) are rare and benign tumors, and their classification and etiology are still controversial. Although often asymptomatic, they are almost always treated surgically. Here, we present the case of a 61-year-old woman with intermittent hepatic colic for the past two months. Although her abdominal ultrasound revealed an infrahepatic hydatid cyst, hydatid serology was negative. A CT scan showed a mesenteric cyst, and exploratory laparoscopy revealed a mesenteric peritoneal cyst that was successfully resected. Histopathological examination confirmed its peritoneal origin.
