A mesenteric cyst (MeSH C04.182.473) is a cyst in the mesenterium, and is one of the rarest abdominal tumors, with approximately 822 cases reported since 1507.[1] The incidence is between 1 per 100,000 to 1 per 250,000 hospital admissions.[1]
Tillaux's triad named after the French surgeon Paul Jules Tillaux can be seen in cases of mesenteric cyst. It consists of the following signs:[2]
a fluctuating swelling near the umbilicus
freely mobile in the direction perpendicular to the attachment of mesentery
on percussion: zone of resonance—i.e., band of bowel resonance (due to loop of bowel infront of cyst) and dull note behind due to fluid inside the cyst
It is basically[clarification needed] of two types:
Chylolymphatic, the most common type: thin wall, lined by flat endothelium, clear chylous fluid present, separate blood vessels
Enterogenous: thick wall, lined by columnar, mucinous fluid present common blood supply
Treatments:
Chylolymphatic cyst: Enucleation
Enterogenous cyst: Excision of cyst along with resection and anastomosis of part of bowel that shares common blood supply with the cyst
