Mesenteric cysts are rare benign intra-abdominal tumors and have a wide range of underlying causes. The lack of characteristic clinical features and radiological signs may present great diagnostic difficulties. The cyst may present in one of three ways: non specific abdominal features; an incidental finding; or an acute abdomen. Abdominal pain is the major presenting symptom. The interest of this pathology is linked to pre-operative diagnosis and it is taking into account therapeutic load.
