Abstract
Sclerosing mesenteritis is part of a spectrum of benign,
inflammatory diseases of the abdominal mesentery.
It has been called retractile mesenteritis, and other forms
include mesenteric panniculitis and mesenteric
lipodystrophy. The disease rarely involves the
retroperitoneum. We present a case of sclerosing
mesenteritis that progressed to ureteral involvement.
Keywords
