Popis: A dermoid cyst is a teratoma of a cystic nature which can occur wherever a teratoma can occur. Intra mesenteric dermoid cyst is rarest of rare case and even its incidence is not known. Here, we report a case of intra mesenteric dermoid cyst in 21 yr. old female patient who presented to us with complain of on & off mild pain in abdomen for last 2 years. Intra mesenteric dermoid cyst is a rare condition and when presented with symptoms, it should be operated upon for improving patient’s overall wellbeing. Dermoids belong to the group of congenital cystic tumours developing from an embryonic rest. Such tumours vary from those which contain only epidermal cells to those containing various dermal derivatives, such as glandular cells (sebaceous), and even hair and teeth. So, they vary from pure epidermoids to dermoids and then through the teratoid tumours to the teratomas. These tumours can arise wherever two ectodermal surfaces fuse together in the developing embryo when an ectodermal implant is retained deep in the surface.”1 Intra mesenteric dermoid is very rare and no previous case report regarding intra mesenteric dermoid was found.
