The Complex Relationship between Mesenteric Panniculitis and Malignancy — A Holistic Approach is Still Needed to Understand the Diagnostic Uncertainties

Abstract: Mesenteric panniculitis is an idiopathic, localized inflammation involving the adipose tissue of the small bowel mesentery. The association of mesenteric panniculitis with malignancy, predominantly lymphomas, has been widely reported in the medical literature. In this review article, we will discuss the clinical guidelines in the diagnosis and management of mesenteric panniculitis and the clinical association between mesenteric panniculitis and malignancies.

“…This is supported by the finding that some patients with mesenteric panniculitis have concomitant autoimmune disorders such as retroperitoneal fibrosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Additionally, mesenteric panniculitis can be a manifestation of paraneoplastic syndrome due to underlying malignancy [8,9]. However, in the present case, the patient had no history of any such risk factors, making the association between the panniculitis and COVID-19 more plausible.…”

Symptomatic patients have abdominal pain that could be associated with fever, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss [6].…”

“…[10,11]. МПн развивается преимущественно у мужчин в возрасте 35-75 лет [11]. У большинства пациентов с брыжеечным Пн заболевание протекает бессимптомно или с неспецифическими проявлениями: боль в животе, тошнота, рвота, лихорадка, асцит и плевральный выпот [10,12].…”
