[Post-operative sclerosing mesenteritis].
For the first time we describe a sclerosing mesenteritis that appeared acutely after abdominal operations. The patient suffered from diffuse abdominal symptoms. There was a hard tumour in the left middle and lower abdomen. Histological analysis revealed fibrosis and bone tissue. Symptoms improved after application of prednisone and high-calorie infusions.
