title: Mesothelial cyst at porta hepatis.
abstract: Mesothelial cysts are fluid-filled sacs lined by mesothelial cells. They are rare lesions that have been known to occur at various sites, but have not been reported at the porta hepatis. We report a 45-year-old woman with mesothelial cyst at the porta hepatis that was detected incidentally during open cholecystectomy.
