Giant mesenteric cyst, an incidental finding. Case report.
Abstract
We present the case of a 58-year-old man, with no history of significant hepatopathy, who presented progressive abdominal distension that did not respond to diuretics, diagnosed incidentally through imaging studies with a giant mesenteric cyst, which is a rare tumor, Its etiology is still unknown, its diagnosis is generally made through imaging studies and the treatment consists of complete surgical excision since its drainage is an ineffective means due to the high risk of recurrence.
