title: [Mesothelial cysts in urology: a diagnostic and therapeutic problem].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present our experience with mesothelial cysts with excretory system involvement.
  
  
  METHODS
  3 cases of mesothelial cyst are presented; two of them caused obstructive uropathy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Cases 1 and 2 were treated by surgery, while case 3 was managed conservatively. All cases are currently asymptomatic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Mesothelial cysts are an uncommon cause of obstructive uropathy. Treatment is by surgery for the symptomatic cases and conservative management is a valid alternative for the asymptomatic cases.
