“…Mesenteric panniculitis may be associated with several autoimmune conditions such as sclerosing cholangitis, Riedel thyroiditis, mixed connective tissue disease [44], ankylosing spondylitis [36], Sjögren's syndrome [45], polychondritis [46] and Weber-Christian disease [47]. A summary of diseases associated with mesenteric panniculitis is presented in TABLE 2.…”

In 1924, mesenteric panniculitis was first described in the medical literature by Jura et al. as 'retractile mesenteritis.' It represents a spectrum of disease processes characterized by degeneration, inflammation and scarring of the adipose tissue of the mesentery. The clinical presentations vary according to the stage of the disease and they include abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting. Computed tomography findings are usually diagnostic. The gross findings include thickening of the mesentery, mass lesions and adhesion to the surrounding organs. Histologically, there is a chronic inflammatory process involving the adipose tissue with fat necrosis, inflammation and fibrosis. Herein, the authors address the clinicopathological features, course, treatment and pathogenetic mechanisms of mesenteric panniculitis.

“…Several predisposing factors have been mooted notably previous abdominal surgery [2,5] or trauma, retention of surgical equipment or bacterial infection. This benign condition may be associated with other diseases such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease [5], yet the reason for this association is yet to be explained .Although the pathogenesis of mesenteric panniculitis remains unclear: the possibility of excessive enzymatic degradation due to an inherent a1-antitrypsin deficiency is largely considered as one of the major causes of panniculitis [6,7]. CT is often the first line imaging tool in the diagnosis and allows to rule out other differential diagnoses.…”

“…CT features, as well as MRI findings, are not specific and thus exploratory laparotomy with multiple biopsies is sometimes required [2]. Modern imaging (CT and MRI) have been useful identifying macroscopic forms including multilocular pseudo cystic forms [6,8]. These are in fact nodular forms associated with partitioned fluid collections containing chylous liquid secondary to extrinsic compression of lymphatic vessels.…”

Rare and poorly documented, mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is characterized by nonspecific inflammation affecting adipose tissue of the mesentery. Modern imaging, computed tomography and especially magnetic resonance imaging can be very useful in the workup thus reducing unnecessary laparotomy hitherto required for the positive diagnosis of this affection. Pathology examination still remains necessary as it eliminates key differentials notably liposarcoma. This could be achieved through imagingguided biopsy. We hereby report a case of sclerosing mesenteritis in a 43 years old patient.
