Abstract:
Objetive To investigate the effective diagnosis and treatment and the clinical features of omental cyst in children.MethodsThe clinical materials of 12 cases of omental cyst who were hospitalized in our hospital in recent 5 years were analyzed. Patients with omental cysts usually present with abdominal distention and a painless abdominal mass.ResultsAll patients were diagnosed before operation, and the diagnostic procedures included ultrasonography，Computed Tomography (CT) scans and Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI). Complete excision of the cyst was performed by open or laparoscopicassisted surgery. All patients were discharged within 7 days postoperatively without any complications.ConclusionsOmental cysts occur rarely in children, and complete excision of the cyst is considered as the treatment of choice. Laparoscopic or laparoscopyassisted excision of omental cysts seems to be a feasible and effective procedure.
