Özet
ABSTRACT
Mesenteric cysts are benign cystic structures classified within benign lesions seen in the abdomen. More common in adulthood. It is mostly seen in the small bowel mesentery. It may present with a wide scale ranging from clinically asymptomatic to perforation. Imaging methods are the most helpful tests in diagnosis. Biopsy is not usually recommended. Treatment is total excision of the cyst. We planned to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric cysts with 2 patients we operated on in our clinic with the diagnosis of intra-abdominal cysts. Patients, aged 24 and 52, came with complaints of abdominal pain. A preliminary diagnosis of intra-abdominal mesenteric cyst was made by ultrasonography and computerized tomography and an elective operation was planned. The patients underwent laparoscopic total cyst excision. Pathology results were mesenteric cysts. It should be kept in mind that mesenteric cysts may be a cause of acute or chronic abdominal pain. Imaging methods have an important place in the diagnosis. The treatment is total excision of the cyst.
