Mesenteric cysts are abdominal tumors with a low incidence, the clinical presentation depends on the location and size of the cyst, the recommended treatment is surgical resolution. In next pages. Case description We present the case of a 17-year-old female adolescent with no significant personal pathological history, who initially presented nausea and incoercible vomiting, accompanied by fever and abdominal pain of 5 days of evolution, which caused moderate dehydration and consequently acute kidney injury and later chronic kidney failure that is aggravated by systemic lupus erythematosus that the patient develops during the clinical course. Concomitantly, the patient presents significant abdominal distention, so it is performed a CT scan (Tomography), which reveals the presence of a mesenteric cyst that displaces intra-abdominal organs, so it is made a reference to general surgery. Patient remains awaiting renal biopsy to determine histopathological classification for underlying autoimmune disease. The patient remains awaiting surgical resolution. Conclusion Mesenteric cyst is a rare entity, surgery is the treatment of choice and the only definitive diagnostic method for mesenteric cysts, the patient remains awaiting surgical resolution.
