    Background:

    • Mesenterial lipodystrophy presents macroscopically as thickened, discolored mesentery.
    • Microscopically, it involves infiltration of adipose tissue with lipid-laden macrophages (foamy cells).
    • It is a relatively common autopsy finding with unclear etiology and pathogenesis.
