title: A 4-years-old girl with a mesenteric cyst.
abstract: This Letter to the Editor deals with the case of a 4-years-old female affected by a mesenteric cyst, initially confused with an ovarian cyst. The emergency situation justified our open approach. However, as expressed by the Authors, a laparoscopy should be always considered, also in pediatric age.
