• TITLE: Omental cysts in children: Rare causes of abdominal masses (a report of two cases)

  AUTHORS: Ibrahim E. Bassiouny, Tariq O. Abbas

  KEYWORDS: Omental Cyst; Pediatric; Teratomatous

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Pediatrics, Vol.3 No.4, December 20, 2013

  ABSTRACT: Background: Omental cysts are the least common variety of intraabdominal cystic lesions encountered in children. They are often identified incidentally, although they may also cause acute abdominal pain. Case Report: We describe here two girls with omental cysts with very unusual clinical presentations. Conclusion: The majority of omental cysts are discovered incidentally. Overall results in pediatric patients are favourable. Optimal surgical management mandates complete excision.
