Abstract

Intra-abdominal lesions, such as mesenteric cysts, are uncommon disorders. Most are discovered incidentally during routine abdominal examinations. They generally do not show typical clinical findings. Laparoscopic surgery has been used to remove a wide variety of mesenteric cysts. We report a patient with a mesenteric cyst, who was treated by laparoscopic enucleation.

Key Words

Mesenteric cyst, laparoscopic enucleation.
