We report the case of a 21 year old female with underlying facial lipodystrophy who presented with left lower abdominal pain, weight gain and altered bowel habit.
Subsequent investigation showed a large (21cm×18cm×8cm) intraabdominal mass. At laparotomy, it was completely excised and was seen to arise from the transverse mesocolon and following histology revealed it to be mesenteric lipodystrophy.
Mesenteric lipodystrophy is a rare clinical entity, and part of a spectrum of disorders of sclerosing mesenteritis. This is the first reported case in a patient with pre-existing facial lipodystrophy.
Herein we describe a case of mesenteric lipodystrophy, discuss its management and review of the literature.
我们报告一例21岁患有潜在面部脂肪营养不良的女性病例，该患者出现左下腹疼痛、体重增加和排便习惯改变。
后续检查发现一个巨大的（21cm×18cm×8cm）腹腔内肿块。在剖腹手术中，将其完全切除，发现肿块起源于横结肠系膜，组织学检查显示为肠系膜脂肪营养不良。
肠系膜脂肪营养不良是一种罕见的临床病症，是硬化性肠系膜炎症谱系疾病的一部分。这是首例报道的患有既往面部脂肪营养不良的患者。
在此我们描述一例肠系膜脂肪营养不良病例，讨论其治疗方法并进行文献综述。
