[Mesenteric lipodystrophy].
Mesenteric lipodystrophy is a rare disorder characterized by either focal or diffuse thickening of the mesentery due to chronic inflammation and fibrosis. The etiology and pathogenesis is obscure. Roentgenologic findings help in differential diagnosis with other diseases but they rarely establish the diagnosis. This is made in most cases by laparotomy.
