title: [Mesenteric lipodystrophy].
abstract: This case report describes the clinic and pathologic findings of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the mesentery in a 43 years old male. Previous to the hospital admission he had several episodes of intestinal occlusion and an abdominal mass. Computed tomography and mesenteric angiography were very helpful. Laboratory tests were unspecific, and the final diagnosis was obtained after surgery and histologic study of the lesion. We review published literature on inflammatory pseudotumors.
