[Mesenteric serous cysts. Report of 2 cases].
Two cases of mesenteric serous cysts were reported. The first was a 65 years old woman who underwent laparotomy for abdominal pain associated with a mass initially thought to be ovarian. The second cyst was also an incidental discovery in a 59 years old female during abdominal computed tomography for thrombocytopenia. After surgical resection the first woman was well, 7 months and the second lady 4 years later, without recurrence. The two were unilocular serous cysts. By reporting these two observations, the authors aimed to show the rarity of the mesenteric serous cysts in a succint clarification on the disease.
