Abstract
A patient with light chain multiple myeloma and no evidence of disease following autologous bone marrow transplantation, developed asymptomatic mass in the right lower quadrant mesentery, which increased in size and showed FDG uptake on PET CT. The only other change of note on imaging was chronic appendicitis, confirmed on surgery and pathology. Suspecting a neoplastic mass in the mesentery, surgical resection was undertaken but the pathology revealed sclerosing mesenteritis. This rare, non-neoplastic fibro-inflammatory disease, its protean manifestations, disease associations, and treatment are briefly discussed, including the perplexing coexistence with adjacent appendicitis.
