Abstract

Objective: To present our experience with mesothelial cysts with excretory system involvement.

Methods: 3 cases of mesothelial cyst are presented; two of them caused obstructive uropathy.

Results: Cases 1 and 2 were treated by surgery, while case 3 was managed conservatively. All cases are currently asymptomatic.

Conclusions: Mesothelial cysts are an uncommon cause of obstructive uropathy. Treatment is by surgery for the symptomatic cases and conservative management is a valid alternative for the asymptomatic cases.
