Abstract
Mesenteric panniculitis is an aseptic inflammation of mesenteric fat. Before the age of ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT), mesenteric panniculitis was rarely diagnosed, but today the disorder is more commonly encountered, often as an incidental imaging finding. Its exact cause remains unknown. This review illustrates the characteristic US and CT features of mesenteric panniculitis and discusses its differential diagnosis.Entities:
