Abstract:
Carcinoma of the stomach is increasingly treated with chemotherapy. We describe two cases of intra-abdominal panniculitis in patients after laparotomy and chemotherapy for stomach carcinoma. Intra-abdominal panniculitis can result in mass lesions in the mesentery and omentum. The diagnosis should be considered in patients who have undergone chemotherapy for stomach carcinoma and who develop abdominal masses.
