AB Key  PointsCystic  abdominal  lesions  are  relatively  common.Diagnosis  of  the  underlying  etiology  of  a  cystic  abdominal  mass  may  be  difficult  but  intimate  association  with  adjacent  structures  may  provide  clues  to  diagnosis.Fetal  MRI  may  be  helpful  in  determining  the  cyst’s  origin.Sonographic  evidence  of  associated  anomalies  should  be  sought.Obstruction  of  bowel  and  compression  of  adjacent  organs  is  common  and  may  result  in  polyhydramnios.Cyst  aspiration  in  utero  is  rarely  indicated.
