Resumen

We report a 28 years old obese male presenting with abdominal pain of increasing intensity lasting 15 days. In the last days, diarrhea and fever appeared. On abdominal examination a 8 cm painful mass was palpated. An abdominal ultrasound showed an anechoic mass in the epigastrium. An abdominal CAT scan showed an inflammatory mass that involves the small bowel. The patient is subjected to a percutaneous needle aspiration, obtaining 50 ml of a purulent fluid. Due to persistence of fever, the patient was operated finding an inflammation that involved the mesentery and the great omentum and covering abscess. The pathologic study of the surgical piece reported a unspecific nodular mesenteric panniculitis.
