The authors present the case of a middle-aged lady with two weeks of abdominal pain. Computed tomography imaging revealed sclerosing mesenteritis. Sclerosing mesenteritis is also known as mesenteric panniculitis and is a chronic fibrosing inflammatory disease that primarily affects the adipose tissue of the mesentery in the small intestine and colon. The clinical presentation, imaging findings, differential diagnosis, and therapeutic management are presented in this report. In our patient's case, she was able to be managed conservatively, without the need for surgery. This reflects the most benign and self-limiting natural history of the disease.
作者报告了一位患有两周腹痛的中年女性病例。计算机断层扫描成像显示为硬化性肠系膜炎症。硬化性肠系膜炎症也被称为肠系膜脂膜炎，是一种慢性纤维化炎症性疾病，主要影响小肠和结肠系膜的脂肪组织。本报告介绍了其临床表现、影像学检查结果、鉴别诊断及治疗处理。就我们这位患者的情况而言，她能够通过保守治疗，无需手术。这反映了该疾病最良性且自限性的自然病程。
