A peritoneal simple mesothelial cyst is a very rare mesenteric
cyst. Though the lesion being generally asymptomatic, it
usually ranges between a few centimeters to 10 cm; however,
occasionally it presents with various, non-specific symptoms,
which makes correct pre-operative diagnosis difficult. We
present a case of a giant peritoneal simple mesothelial cyst that
was successfully managed by complete surgical excision
without any known intra and post operative surgical
complications
