ABSTRACT
A mesothelial cyst of the round ligament is a rare developmental disorder which is often misdiagnosed as an inguinal hernia. Here, we report a case of a 25-year-old female with a mesothelial cyst of the round ligament presenting as a palpable mass. Magnetic resonance examination demonstrated that the mass was hipointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense T2-weighted images. In addition, there were fine hipointense septations inside the mass on the T2-weighted series. In the right inguinal area, the cyst was resected and reported as a mesothelial cyst of the round ligament accompanying endometriosis.
ÖZET
Round ligamentin mezotelyal kisti sıklıkla herni ile karışan nadir bir gelişimsel bozukluktur. Bu çalışmada 25 yaşındaki kadın hastada palpabl kitle olarak prezente olan round ligamentin mezoteliyal kisti sunuldu. Kitle, manyetik rezonans görüntülemede T1 ağırlıklı kesitlerde hipointens, T2 ağırlıklı kesitlerde hiperintens olarak tespit edildi. Ek olarak T1 ağırlıklı kesitlerde kitlenin içinde ince hipointens septasyonlar mevcuttu. Sağ inguinal bölgedeki kist eksize edildi ve endometriyozisin eşlik ettiği round ligamentin mezoteliyal kisti olarak rapor edildi.
