Abstract:
Mesenteric cysts are rarely thought of, may be difficult to diagnose, and are usually asymptomatic except when complicated. Intestinal obstruction is a rarely reported complication of these cysts. A case of mesenteric cyst that was causing obstruction of the large bowel is presented, along with a review of the literature.
