To report the case of an unusual form of protein-losing enteropathy.A 54-year-old patient with hypoechoic tumours resembling lipomas in the mesentery.Following examination by ultrasound and computed tomography, the well-known intestinal and extra-intestinal forms of protein-losing enteropathy were excluded and a diagnostic laparotomy was performed. The whole mesentery was infiltrated by a large unresectable tumour. Histological examination showed that it was a sclerosing mesenteritis.Steroid therapy dramatically improved the protein-losing enteropathy.Pathogenically, the enteropathy may be interpreted as the result of disturbed lymphatic drainage caused by the sclerosed mesentery. |
