[Necrotizing panniculitis of the colon--a rare form of mesenterial panniculitis].
A 37-year old man was admitted with colics in the upper right abdomen. Since the laparoscopy revealed a massive thickening of the right colonic flexure a hemicolectomy was performed. The histologic examination yielded the diagnosis of a necrotizing panniculitis of the colon, a rare variant of mesenterial panniculitis usually occurring in the small intestine. Signs and symptoms, diagnostics, and therapeutic approaches of this disorder of unknown cause are discussed.
