Abstract

We are reporting an unusual case of diffuse chylous mesenteric cyst extending to the retroperitoneum in a neonate. The lump was unresectable as it was diffuse and mesenteric vessels traversed through it. The child was followed till one year of age and is asymptomatic. Repeat imaging shows persistence of the cysts.
