lüll Mesenteric panniculitis: various presentations and treatment regimens Issa I; Baydoun HWorld J Gastroenterol 2009[Aug]; 15 (30): 3827-30Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare, benign and chronic fibrosing inflammatory disease that affects the adipose tissue of the mesentery of the small intestine and colon. The specific etiology of the disease is unknown. The diagnosis is suggested by computed tomography and is usually confirmed by surgical biopsies. Treatment is empirical and based on a few selected drugs. Surgical resection is sometimes attempted for definitive therapy, although the surgical approach is often limited. We report two cases of mesenteric panniculitis with two different presentations and subsequently varying treatment regimens. Adequate response was obtained in both patients. We present details of these cases as well as a literature review to compare various presentations, etiologies and potential treatment modalities.|Aged[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Panniculitis, Peritoneal/*diagnosis/diagnostic imaging/*pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH] |
