The case reveals a rare occurrence of a ruptured mesenteric cyst presenting as abdominal pain, complicating diagnosis and management.
Detailed examination during exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of mesenteric cyst in a patient with acute abdominal pain.
This case underscores the challenge of diagnosing mesenteric cysts due to their nonspecific symptoms, often mimicking other abdominal conditions.
The findings highlight that mesenteric cysts, though rare, should be considered in differential diagnoses for acute abdominal pain in young adults.

Abstract

Mesenteric cysts are rare and often enigmatic tumors that can arise from any part of the mesentery, spanning from the duodenum to the rectum. Due to their nonspecific symptoms, which can mimic a wide range of abdominal conditions, diagnosing these cysts can be particularly challenging. Here, we present the case of a 22-year-old female with no significant medical history, who underwent exploratory laparotomy for acute, generalized abdominal pain. During the procedure, she was diagnosed with a ruptured mesenteric cyst.
