Abstract
Abstract
Background
Omental cysts are rare abdominal lesions and are difficult to diagnose. Mostly they are detected incidentally during imaging studies performed for unrelated reasons.
Case presentation
Presentation can be both acute and chronic. Acute presentations are usually due to complication in cyst. Imaging is helpful in excluding other causes of lump abdomen.
We encountered a case of giant lymphatic cyst presenting with abdominal swelling, clinically mimicking huge ovarian cyst.
Conclusion
The goal of surgical therapy is complete excision of the cyst, and Omental cysts can be removed without endangering the adjacent bowel.
