- Abstract
Inroduction: Mucinous cystic neoplasms are rare tumors. They may originate from either ovaries, pancreas, or other intra-abdominal sites, but rarely from the mesentery. Case History: A 22-year-old nulliparaous woman, who had undergone laparascopic bilateral cystectomy for recurrent ovarian mass, presented with pain in abdomen, backache, and menstrual irregularities. Provisionally diagnosed as ovarian carcinoma, she underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and sigmoid colectomy. However, the histopathological examination revealed mucinous cystic neoplasm of the mesentery. Discussion: Thus, complete resection of the cysts with meticulous gross and histopathological examination remains the gold standard to differentiate mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the mesentery from its mimics, especially malignant counterparts, enabling clinicians to adequately manage such patients. Here, we present a case of recurrent MCN of mesentery (mesocolon), mimicking as ovarian carcinoma confirmed on histopathological examination, in a young adult.
