Abstract

Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the mesentery are rare, have a lack of specific clinical findings, and are usually diagnosed incidentally as other mesenteric cysts. The case is reported on a 67 year old woman with a mesenteric cyst erroneously classified preoperatively as an ovarian tumor. It was completely resected and histological review showed a mucinous cystadenoma. A review is performed on the literature and cases reported to date.
