Abstract

Mesenteric cyst is a rare cause of intra-abdominal mass in children. The most common site is the mesentery of the ileum. The other rare sites are descending colon, sigmoid colon, and the retroperitoneum. We are presenting a case of 12 years old male who presented to us as epigastric mass and was finally diagnosed to have huge sigmoid mesenteric cyst. We want to emphasize here that the sigmoid mesenteric cyst which in itself is a rare entity can also present as an epigastric mass making the diagnosis even more difficult.
