A Giant Mesenteric Cyst in a Prepubertal Girl Mimicking an Ovarian Mass: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mesenteric cysts are rare benign intra-abdominal lesions in children, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms and posing diagnostic challenges. Their clinical and radiological resemblance to ovarian or paraovarian pathologies may lead to misdiagnosis, especially in female patients. We report the case of an eight-year-old premenarchal girl who presented with chronic abdominal pain and a palpable abdominopelvic mass. Imaging studies revealed a large multiloculated cystic lesion suggestive of a paraovarian cyst or serous cystadenoma. An exploratory laparotomy uncovered a giant mesenteric cyst measuring approximately 12 cm, adherent to the jejunal wall. Due to dense adhesions, complete cyst enucleation was not feasible, and segmental bowel resection with anastomosis was performed. Histopathology confirmed a benign mesenteric cyst. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery and remained asymptomatic during follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic dilemma posed by mesenteric cysts in paediatric patients and emphasizes the importance of surgical exploration for definitive diagnosis and treatment. Early recognition and timely management result in excellent outcomes.
