Abstract |
Mesenteric cysts are usually not considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic cystic masses. The more common considerations for pelvic cystic masses include ovarian cysts such as, endometrioma, dermoid cyst, and other neoplasm. Here we report a case of 15-year-old girl with pelvic cystic mass; it was initially thought to be ovarian endometrioma, but the operative and histologic findings revealed a mesenteric cyst. |
Key Words:
