Abstract
Mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal tumors which develop as a result o f embryonic defects of the lymphatics. Symptoms derived from this path ology are vague and nonspecific, being frequently abdominal pain, hear tburn, and nausea. The treatment of these tumors is complete surgical excision. The laparoscopic approach is replacing open abdominal surgic al procedures. We present a case of successful laparoscopic resection of a mesenteric cyst using only three trocars.
