We report a case of 17 year old female weighing 85 kg with chronic abdominal pain. Radiological imaging techniques revealed it as an enteric duplication cyst or mesenteric cyst. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed the cyst originating from mesentery. After laparoscopic excision of this cyst histopathology report was unusual, as a tuberculous mesenteric cyst.
