The authors report a case of combined mesenteric and retroperitoneal fibrosis resulting in vascular and digestive compressions. Diagnosis was established by laparoscopy and biopsy. No etiologic factors were found. Such an association is exceptional and suggests that the disease is systemic. The possibility of fibrosis arising far from the mesenterium (mediastinum, extrahepatic biliary tract, thyroid, orbit) has led some authors to suggest that this condition be termed Idiopathic Systemic Fibrosis. An immunologic origin has been speculated in the literature.
作者报告了一例合并肠系膜和腹膜后纤维化导致血管和消化道受压的病例。通过腹腔镜检查和活检确诊。未发现病因。这种关联很罕见，提示该病具有系统性。远离肠系膜（纵隔、肝外胆道、甲状腺、眼眶）发生纤维化的可能性使得一些作者建议将这种情况称为特发性系统性纤维化。文献中推测其起源与免疫有关。
