Abstract
Mesenteric panniculitis is an infrequent pathology; the diagnosis is m ade by the pathologist and it is characterized by inflamation, fibrosi s and retraction of the mesenteric fat. We report three new cases of r etractile mesenteritis or mesenteric panniculitis, two cases presented with intestinal obstruction and the other had an abdominal tumour. In all cases the pathological diagnosis was retractile mesenteritis.
