title: Ultrasound aspect of mesenteric panniculitis. Case report.
abstract: Mesenteric panniculitis represents a cronic inflammation of the adipose tissue of the mesentery which can present sometimes with the imagistic aspect of one or multiples pseudotumors. We present the case of female patient in which mesenteric panniculitis was found accidentally during a routine abdominal ultrasound examination leading to differential diagnostics problems. Color Doppler and contrast enhancement ultrasonography were helpful for diagnosis evidencing a benign circulatory signal.
