Cystic lesions deriving from the omentum are rare benign clinical conditions of uncertain etiopathogenesis. In this report we describe a case of antenatal diagnosed intra-abdominal cystic mass, which, due to the absence of symptomatology and constant ultrasound morphology over time, did not require immediate treatment. The present patient was followed up until surgery, which was performed at 4 years of age: on laparoscopy a cyst within the greater omentum was identified and excised. Histopathology indicated a cyst with epidermoid structure, which is unusual among the omental cysts reported in the literature.
源自大网膜的囊性病变是病因不明的罕见良性临床病症。在本报告中,我们描述了一例产前诊断的腹腔内囊性肿物病例,由于无症状且随着时间推移超声形态无变化,故无需立即治疗。该患者一直随访至4岁时进行手术:腹腔镜检查发现并切除了大网膜内的一个囊肿。组织病理学显示为一个具有表皮样结构的囊肿,这在文献报道的大网膜囊肿中并不常见。
