Abstract
We report a case of mesenteric chylous cyst diagnosed preoperatively b y ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT). Both demonstrated a unilocular cystic mass with a fluid-fluid level, The CT number of t he two components indicated fat density and water density and with sha king or positional changes, the contents displayed miscibility. The tu mor changed its position during hospitalization. Both features are con sidered to be quite diagnostic of this condition.
