Abstract
Background: A mesenteric cyst is defined as a cyst which is located in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract; it may extend from the base of the mesentery into the retroperitoneum. The incidence of mesenteric cysts is 1:102,500 to 1:250,000 hospital admissions. Case Report: We report a case of a female patient with a mesenteric cyst which was successfully treated with endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration, because the patient refused surgical excision. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in which the approach was echoendoscopic: the cystic lesion completely disappeared and did not recur at following CT scan follow-up.
