Abstract
Benign cystic tumors are rare intra-abdominal lesions that may be retroperitoneal, mesenteric, or omental. Their rarity had fostered a lack of information and difficulty in classification. Most of them cause non-specific symptoms, rarely they cause serious complications such as volvulus, rupture or bowel obstruction and treatment is indicated if they become symptomatic due to enlargement of the cyst. We present a patient with a ruptured giant mesenteric cyst due to a penetrating abdominal trauma and treated successfully by surgical intervention. To our best of knowledge, this is the first case reported in the English literature with a ruptured mesenteric cyst after penetrating abdominal trauma.
Keywords : Cysts, Intestinal Obstruction, Intestinal Volvulus, Mesenteric Cysts, Wounds, Stab.
