A mesenteric cyst is defined as any cyst that is located in the mesentery and may or may not extend into the retroperitoneum; histologically, the inner surface of the cystic wall presents a rec- ognizable lining of epithelium (cuboidal/colum- nar), endothelial or mesothelial, depending on the embryologic origin of the cyst. According to this definition, intestinal duplications, being most commonly cystic and located on the mesenteric aspect of the small or large intestine, may be part of this group. However, we will consider them in this chapter only for the differential diagnosis. Furthermore, in this chapter we will only con- sider cysts that interest the neonatal or infancy period, that is, the congenital ones.

Abstract

A mesenteric cyst is defined as any cyst that is located in the mesentery and may or may not extend into the retroperitoneum; histologically, the inner surface of the cystic wall presents a rec- ognizable lining of epithelium (cuboidal/colum- nar), endothelial or mesothelial, depending on the embryologic origin of the cyst. According to this definition, intestinal duplications, being most commonly cystic and located on the mesenteric aspect of the small or large intestine, may be part of this group. However, we will consider them in this chapter only for the differential diagnosis. Furthermore, in this chapter we will only con- sider cysts that interest the neonatal or infancy period, that is, the congenital ones.
