The primary retroperitoneal tumors are malignant or no malignant neoplasias, which the mesenteric cyst has an uncommon presentation. They have a great histological variety that includes the simple lymphatic cysts or the lymphangiomas which are congenital or acquired tumors whose intra-abdominal localization is unusual. There are three clinical features: incidental, unspecific and acute; and their therapeutic management is determinate by their radiological profile and it involves the preoperative percutaneous drainage in case of huge cysts for decreasing the size of the tumor and getting the radical cystectomy without relapse. This review presents two cases of acute abdominal pain related to huge retroperitoneal cysts resolved by minimally invasive approach and bibliographic review.
