  • sclerosing Mesenteritis mesenteric panniculitis and mesenteric lipodystrophy a single entity
    The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Theresa S. Emory, James M. Monihan, Norman J. Carr, Leslie H. Sobin
    Abstract:

    We reviewed 84 cases coded as mesenteric lipodystrophy (ML), mesenteric panniculitis (MP), or retractile Mesenteritis and sclerosing Mesenteritis (SM), grading fibrosis, inflammation, and fat necrosis, and evaluating clinical subgroups. There was no gender or racial predominance. Patient age range was 23-87 years (average 60). Patients most often presented with abdominal pain or a palpable mass. A history of trauma or surgery was present in four of 84 patients. The most common site of involvement was the small bowel mesentery as a single mass (58 of 84) with an average size of 10 cm, multiple masses (15 of 84), or diffuse mesenteric thickening (11 of 84). All patients had some degree of fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and fat necrosis. Although a few patients showed a sufficient prominence of fibrosis, inflammation, or fat necrosis to permit a separation into SM, MP, or ML, respectively, in most patients these three components were too mixed for a clear separation. The clinical, demographic, and gross features did not help in defining these three entities. Contributors diagnosed 12 as sarcoma. Of 39 patients followed beyond the postoperative period, none died of these lesions. We conclude that SM, MP, and ML appear to represent histologic variants of one clinical entity, and in most cases "sclerosing Mesenteritis" is the most appropriate diagnostic term.

  • Sclerosing Mesenteritis, mesenteric panniculitis and mesenteric lipodystrophy: a single entity?

  • sclerosing Mesenteritis involving the small bowel and large bowel mesentery a case report and review of the literature
    North American journal of medicine & science, 2019
    Co-Authors: Ayesha Arshad, B Aleena S Hussain
    Abstract:

    Mesenteric Panniculitis/Sclerosing Mesenteritis is an under diagnosed, rare chronic fibrosing inflammatory disease that affects the mesenteric adipose tissue of the small intestine and rarely the mesocolon. The disease poses diagnostic challenge due to its non- specific clinical and radiologic findings.  Biopsy and histopathologic evaluation is required where there is clinical or radiological suspicion of neoplasia. Management of Mesenteric Panniculitis / Sclerosing Mesenteritis depends on the presentation, with medical therapy preferred for symptomatic patients and surgery reserved for life threatening complications. We represent a case of a 71 - year old man who presented with vague abdominal symptoms. Computed Tomography and Positron Emission scans demonstrated mesenteric lesions suspicious for carcinoid. A diagnosis of Mesenteric Panniculitis / Sclerosing Mesenteritis was made on histologic evaluation. The patient’s symptoms on follow up did not warrant any therapeutic interventions till the writing of this article. [N A J Med Sci. 2019;12(1):001-006.   DOI: 10.7156/najms.2019.1201001]

  • mycobacterium genavense specific mesenteritic syndrome in hiv infected patients a new entity of retractile Mesenteritis
    AIDS, 2013
    Co-Authors: Johannes P Borde, Wolfb Offensperger, Winfried V. Kern, Dirk Wagner
    Abstract:

    : Abdominal Mesenteritis is a rare and poorly understood gastroenterological disease. Here, we report on two identical cases of Mycobacterium genavense associated retractile Mesenteritis in HIV-positive patients. A literature search retrieved only few small retrospective studies, which characterize the clinical course of this seldom infection. We propose a pathogen-specific syndrome of retractile Mesenteritis in HIV-positive patients linked to Mycobacterium genavense infection on the basis of our clinical observation and literature meta-analysis with duodenal wall thickening, central mesenterial mass and vascular complications.
