title: [Retractile mesenteritis. Report of 3 cases].
abstract: Mesenteric panniculitis is an infrequent pathology; the diagnosis is made by the pathologist and it is characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and retraction of the mesenteric fat. We report three new cases of retractile mesenteritis or mesenteric panniculitis, two cases presented with intestinal obstruction and the other had an abdominal tumour. In all cases the pathological diagnosis was retractile mesenteritis.
