title: Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma presenting as mesenteric cyst.
abstract: Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma occurring in the mesentery is extremely rare. Surgical resection is the best treatment modality, with a chance of cure. We present a 65-year-old man with large mesenteric cyst and absence of bowel involvement. Histology showed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor.
