An unusual case of a jejunal mesenteric pseudocyst treated by laparoscopic resection is reported. A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with intermittent upper abdominal pain and diarrhea. Physical examination revealed slight periumbilical tenderness, and no masses were palpable. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a 4-cm-sized nonenhancing high-density mass with a heterogeneous pattern on a proximal small bowel loop. Based on these findings, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor accompanied by hemorrhagic and cystic change, a mesenteric hematoma, or a desmoid tumor was diagnosed. Laparoscopy was performed to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Exploration of the abdominal cavity identified a 4-cm mass originating from the mesentery of the jejunum. Segmental resection of the jejunum and its mesentery, including the mass, was performed. Macroscopically, the mass appeared to be a cystic mass of the jejunal mesentery. The mass within the cyst lumen consisted of white clayish material with no specific pathology. The final pathological diagnosis was a mesenteric pseudocyst. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
