Abstract
Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM) is a rare disease with non-specific clinical manifestations and should be supported by radiological examination and confirmed by histopathological evaluation. Its relationship with cancer especially caecal adenocarcinoma is still unclear. This case report describes a young man who was diagnosed as having SM and poorly-differentiated caecal adenocarcinoma.
Highlights
Sclerosing mesenteritis is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the intestinal mesenteric fat tissue.[1,2,3,4] The etiology remains unknown and hypothesized to be associated with previous abdominal surgery, abdominal trauma, autoimmune disease, drugs, cancer, ischemia, and infection.[5-7]
Sclerosing mesenteritis is reported in 0.6% of over than 7,000 patients undergoing abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan for other indications.[8]
The procedure revealed that the entire colon was edematous and hyperemic and the hematoxyllin-eosin (HE) staining of the specimen taken from caecum showed poorly-differentiated caecal adenocarcinoma
