[Pfeifer-Weber-Christian syndrome of the mesentery. Clinical and pathologico-anatomical aspects].
A panniculitis isolated solely to the fat tissue of the mesentery is rarely encountered. Problems related to the diagnosis, therapy, and-patho-anatomical features of this polyetiological disease are presented. Based on the excellent response to antirheumatic therapy accompanied by a positive HLA B27, this case could be classified as a connective tissue disease.
