Case report: Left sided gall bladder associated with chylolymphatic cyst of mesentery of small intestine

Abstract

Mesenteric cyst and left sided gall bladder both are rare entity. Incidence of mesenteric cyst is 1 per 1,00,000 to 2,50,000, a rare abdominal tumor, among which chylolymphatic mesenteric cyst is further rare. In left sided gall bladder, gall bladder is attached on left lateral sector of liver, left to falciform ligament and interlobar fissure. Left sided gall bladder can be a single anomaly or associated with other anomalies like duplicated gall bladder, hypoplastic bile duct, situs inversus, anomalous pancreatico-biliary ductal junction, absence of quadrate lobe, accessory liver. In our case it was associated with mesenteric cyst which is the first case to be reported to best of our knowledge.
