ABSTRACT
Mesenteric panniculitis is a benign disease characterized chronic nonspecific inflammation of the mesentery adipose tissue of the small intestine and colon. The specific etiology of the disease is unknown. The diagnosis is suggested by computed tomography (CT) and is usually confirmed by surgical biopsies.
