Weber-Christian disease, a lobular panniculitis, can affect visceral fat. A case report details a mesenteric cyst in a patient with Weber-Christian disease, suggesting visceral fat involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Weber-Christian disease is a rare, controversial condition characterized by lobular panniculitis.
  • A systemic variant affecting visceral fat has been previously documented.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old woman with Weber-Christian disease presented with a rapidly growing abdominal mass during a flare.
  • The mass spontaneously resolved, and imaging revealed a mesenteric cyst.

Findings:

  • The mesenteric cyst was hypothesized to be a manifestation of Weber-Christian disease affecting mesenteric fat.
  • This case highlights a potential visceral involvement in the disease process.

Implications:

  • Abdominal or pelvic masses in Weber-Christian disease patients may indicate visceral fat inflammation.
