Abstract

Giant intra-abdominal cysts masquerading as ascites are rare. We present three cases with giant intra-abdominal cysts (one mesenteric cyst, two ovarian) that were initially misdiagnosed as refractory ascites in another hospital. On ultrasound examination, displacement of bowel loops to outside the fluid without dispersion of fluid around the liver and spleen were the main findings suggesting the possibility of giant intra-abdominal cysts in our patients. In all three patients, the diagnosis of giant intra-abdominal cysts was confirmed after their total excision. Clinicians must consider processes other than ascites in the differential diagnosis of large abdominal fluid accumulation.

Özet

Serbest asit varlığını taklit eden dev karın içi kistleri nadir görülür. Başlangıçta başka hastanede refrakter asit olarak kabul edilen ve tarafımızdan dev karın içi kisti olduğu saptanan üç vakayı (bir mesenter kisti ve iki over kisti) sunduk. Ultrasonografide barsak anslarının sıvının dışına itilmiş olması ve karaciğ er ile dalak etrafında serbest sıvı bulunmaması hastalarımızda karın içi dev kist varlığını düşündüren ana bulgulardı. Her üç hastamızda da, kistlerin cerrahi olarak tamamen çıkarı lması sonrası dev karın içi kist varlığı doğrulandı. Karın içinde ileri derecede sıvı toplanmaları durumunda klinisyen ayırıcı tanıda asit dışı nedenleri de düşünmelidir.
