ABSTRACT
Mucinous cystic neoplasms are rare tumors of uncertain histogenesis. They arise
from the ovaries, pancreas, and other intra-abdominal sites but more unusually
from the mesentery. They can present with abdominal pain, distension, or a
palpable mass but are commonly an incidental finding. We present a case of a
33 year old female who presented with complain of pain abdomen for one-year
duration. On Physical examination there was a palpable lump in right lumbar
region extending to right iliac fossa. CT scan of abdomen and pelvis suggested the
mass to be a Mesenteric Cyst. Enucleation of the cyst was done and histopathology
report revealed Mucinous Cystic borderline tumor of the Mesentery.
