There is a large well-defined unilocular subhepatic intraperitoneal cystic mass of hypodense fluid content with thin and regular wall, apparently separated from the liver, displacing the adjacent bowel loops.
Case Discussion
CT features suggestive of a mesenteric cyst.
Hydatid cyst and enteric duplication cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
