description A mesenteric cyst is rare intra-abdominal pathology, with little literature to guide us on how to diagnose and manage it. We report the incident of a 57-year-old female who had an incidental finding of a sigmoid mesenteric cyst whilst undergoing an operation under the care of the Gynaecologists. A computed tomography scan and a flexible sigmoidoscopy followed to help diagnose the lesion as a cyst. A month later the 10 × 15 cm(2) cyst was excised laparoscopically with no complications.
