Abstract

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to report the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up results of patients who came to the hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and were diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) by Abdominal Computed Tomography (ACT). Method: 32 patients diagnosed with MP by ACT were examined retrospectively. The patients' age, gender, admission leukocyte count, CRP values, comorbidities, medications prescribed at discharge, and relapse status were evaluated. Results: Of the 32 patients included in the study, 11 were male (34.4%), 21 were female (65.6%), and they had a mean age of 58.75±12.31 years. The average leukocyte value at first admission was 8240±2530 /mm³, CRP average 24.93±47.39 mg/L, neutrophil percentage was not above 80% in any patient. No patients were hospitalized. Recurrence was occurred in 2 (6.25%) patients (after 6 months and 28 months). No malignancy were during follow-up. Conclusion: MP was diagnosed with ACT. No biopsy was required for diagnosis. Medical treatment was sufficient, no surgical procedure was performed on the patients.
