ABSTRACT
Mesenteric cysts are uncommon, and they are histopathologically classified as pseudocyst, mesothelial cyst, lymphangioma and omental cyst. We report a case of a 27-year-old female with a huge cystic mass arising from greater omentum. Patient complained the symptoms of abdominal distention due to massive ascites and intermittent pelvic discomfort. The diagnostic examinations including ultrasonography and computed tomography were performed and identified a huge, intraabdominal cyst. Laparoscopic resection of cyst was done with no clinical and symptomatic evidence of adverse event till 12 months. The diagnostic role of sonography and CT in ascites with unknown etiology is emphasized. Minimal invasive surgery showed comparable result to open exploration.
