Özet
Peritoneal inclusion cysts are most common in women of reproductive period and involve the abdomen, pelvis, and retroperitoneum. Generally these cases with a history of previous abdominal surgery present with chronic abdominal and pelvic pain. Peritoneal inclusion cysts are lined with mesothelial cells; this condition has also been referred to as benign cystic mesothelioma. In this study, we present the ultrasonographic and magnetic resonanse imaging (MRI) findings of giant benign cystic mesothelioma in 30-year-old infertil woman and the approaches of the treatment mentioned in literature. On ultrasonography and MRI, peritoneal inclusion cysts are seen as abdominopelvic multiloculated cystic masses. In that case, peritoneal inclusion cysts should be added into the differential diagnosis list in the cases with a history of previous abdominal surgery.
