Mesenteric panniculitis is a nonspecific inflammatory process affecting the fatty tissue at the root of the mesentery. This term is also used to describe the clinical and imaging findings in this disorder. Mesenteric panniculitis can be a misleading term: it is commonly misused to design an increased density of the mesentery without prejudice regarding the etiology.
Pain is the main clinical symptom. Half of the patients are asymptomatic. There is a palpable mass in half of cases. (...)

intraabdominal myositis ossificans

Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM), also known as mesenteric lipodystrophy, rarely involves the parenchyma of the pancreas.
When SM does involve the pancreas, it can mimic pancreatic carcinoma both clinically and radiographically with pain, obstructive jaundice, a mass lesion, and even the appearance of vascular invasion.
Distinguishing SM from pancreatic carcinoma is crucial to appropriate management, as patients with SM may benefit from immunosuppressive therapy.
