Clin Case Rep. 2022 Dec 8;10(12):e6654. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6654. eCollection 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Since patients with mesenteric panniculitis (MP) present non-specific symptoms, diagnosing MP is challenging. We describe a 45-year-old man who developed MP with radiologic findings of a "fat ring sign" and a "tumoral pseudocapsule sign." These signs shown in the present case are crucial for a precise diagnosis of MP.

Keywords: fat ring sign; mesenteric panniculitis; sclerosing mesenteritis and tumoral pseudocapsule sign.
