Abstract :
Mesenteric cysts are rarely seen intraabdominal mass lesions which can manifest themselves with different clinical signs, and symptoms. They can locate in the mesenterium from duodenum down to rectum, and also in the retroperitoneal space. Herein we present a very rare case of a scrotal mesenteric cyst which resembled an epididymal cyst in a 6-year-old boy. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a multiloculated cyst completely filling the scrotal sac, and the cyst was excised surgically. Histopathological examination described the surgical specimen as chylolymphatic mesenteric cyst, and during one year follow-up any recurrence was not observed.
