Abstract
A mesenteric cyst is an uncommon, mainly benign, intra-abdominal tumor. Treatment is surgical, consisting of excision of the cyst and involved organs to prevent possible recurrence. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with gradually increasing abdominal distension and a Computed Tomography scan diagnosis of left complex cystic ovarian mass. Her spirituality was a set back to her health seeking behaviour. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and a mesenteric cyst was found. This was removed in addition to a segment of the ileum which was resected and anastomosed. Her recovery was uneventful. A histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis of benign mesenteric cyst.
