title: Sclerosing mesenteritis mimics gynecologic malignancy.
abstract: •Sclerosing mesenteritis, and associated inflammatory conditions of the retroperitoneum, may mimic malignancy or infection.•Attempted surgical excision of sclerosing mesenteritis and other retroperitoneal conditions often lead to a morbid and unsuccessful surgery.•These conditions are immune-mediated, and respond remarkably well to immunosuppression.
