title: [Mesenteric panniculitis: a case report and a review of the literature].
abstract: Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare entity of benign features that affects the intestinal mesenteric fat tissue and can progress in different ways, from spontaneous resolution to fibrosis. The etiology is still uncertain, probably caused by trauma, infection or surgery. We report a case of a 64-year-old male patient who suddenly began with abdominal pain and leukocytosis. Diagnosis of mesenteric panniculitis was made by a CT scan and the patient evolved with spontaneous resolution within two months.
