Suggest The Consequences Of Mesenteric Panniculitis

I have been diagnosed with this mesenteric panniculitis. I don t know whether to be terrified or not. I have not been able to see a gastroenterologist yet. But on my CT scans at the hospital they did not see any masses . However, from what I have been able to discern, and MRI is supposedly better than a CT scan in detecting this anyway. Should I be afraid? I m unemployed right now. I did not know this would cost me money.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear it is a benign chronic fibrosing inflammatory disease that affects the adipose tissue of mesentry of small intestine and colon. It has other names like sclerosing mesenteritis, mesenteric lipodystrophy, mesenteric sclerosis, retractile mesenteritis, mesenteric Weber-Christian disease, liposclerotic mesenteritis, lipomatosis and lipogranuloma of the mesentry etc..

Symptoms are nausea vomiting, diarrhea, constipation feeling full quickly after you eat, loss of appetite, weight loss, bloating, lump in your abdomen, fatigue,fever...etc

Investigate by CT abdomen and blood tests, if blood tests are in conclusive, need biopsy of sample of tissue from mesentry.

This condition is chronic, but it usually isn’t serious or life-threatening. This condition may chances to develop Lymphoma and other cancers.

Don't worry please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
