Abstract

Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a rare disease characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the mesenteric adipose tissue. It is a benign disease that is influenced by many factors, mainly abdominal trauma and surgery. At present, the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of MP are still not clear. Most patients with MP are asymptomatic, few will present gastrointestinal symptoms, especially abdominal pain. The diagnosis of MP mainly relies on imaging, such as CT. Medicine treatment is unnecessary for asymptomatic patients, and the curative effect of glucocorticoids is effective in patients with symptom. In the absence of severe intestinal obstruction, surgical treatment should not be considered. The purpose of this paper is to systematically introduce and summarize the epidemiology, etiology, histopathology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of MP, so as to improve the understanding of this disease.

Resumen

La paniculitis mesentérica (PM) es una enfermedad rara que se caracteriza por la inflamación crónica y la fibrosis del tejido adiposo mesenterio. Es una enfermedad benigna afectada por múltiples factores, principalmente traumatismos abdominales y cirugía. En la actualidad, la patogénesis y las características clínicas de la PM no están totalmente aclaradas. La mayoría de los pacientes con PM son asintomáticos y rara vez presentan síntomas gastrointestinales, especialmente dolor abdominal. Su diagnóstico se basa principalmente en pruebas de imagen, como tomografías computarizadas. Los pacientes asintomáticos no necesitan tratamiento farmacológico, y los glucocorticoides son efectivos en los pacientes sintomáticos. El tratamiento quirúrgico no debe considerarse sin obstrucción intestinal grave. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar y resumir sistemáticamente la epidemiología, etiología, histopatología, manifestaciones clínicas, diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronóstico de la PM para aumentar el conocimiento de la enfermedad.
