Mucinous cystadenoma of colonic mesentery: report of a case.
Cystic tumors of the retroperitoneum, omentum, and mesentery are extremely rare lesions. We report a case of one such lesion in the mesentery of the left hemicolon that was mistaken on imaging to be an ovarian tumor. Development of this tumor at this site has been described only twice before in the literature.
