This case report details an inflammatory pseudotumor of the mesentery in a 43-year-old male. Diagnosis required surgery and histology, highlighting imaging

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Inflammatory pseudotumors (IPTs) are rare, benign lesions that can occur in various locations, including the mesentery.
  • Mesenteric IPTs can present with nonspecific symptoms, mimicking other intra-abdominal pathologies.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old male presented with recurrent intestinal obstruction and an abdominal mass.
  • Clinical presentation included episodes of bowel obstruction and a palpable abdominal mass.
  • Computed tomography (CT) and mesenteric angiography provided valuable diagnostic information.

Findings:

  • Laboratory tests were non-specific for diagnosis.
  • Surgical resection was necessary for definitive diagnosis.

  • Histologic examination confirmed the lesion as an inflammatory pseudotumor of the mesentery.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of advanced imaging modalities in diagnosing mesenteric masses.
    • Surgical intervention remains critical for the definitive diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric inflammatory pseudotumors.
    • Reviewing the literature on inflammatory pseudotumors aids in understanding their clinical behavior and management strategies.
