title: [Sclerosing mesenteritis--an unusual cause of abdominal pain].
abstract: Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM) is rare and fewer than 300 cases had been reported up to 1997. We describe a 29-year-old woman who had abdominal pain for 1 year and presented with a palpable abdominal mass. The diagnosis of SM was made only after diagnostic laparoscopy and biopsy of the peritoneum.
