Abstract
Introduction: While more than half of the cases are asymptomatic or mild in symptoms, mesenteric cysts can present clinically and radiologically similar to gynaecologic diseases.
Case illustration: A female child presented with worsening episodes of abdominal pain 1 day before admission. Abdominal x-ray suggested mechanical obstruction of the small bowel, and CT scan suggested ileal abnormality.
Discussion: During open surgery, we found two rotated chylous mesenteric cysts, accompanied with adhesions and jejunal perforation 57 cm from the ligament of Treitz. Cysts excision, adhesiolysis, ileo-ileal resection, and anastomosis were performed.
Conclusion: While rare and challenging to identify, mesenteric cysts should be kept in the differential diagnosis in female children presenting with abdominal pain.
