abstract={Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare, benign, and chronic fibrosing inflammatory disease affecting the adipose tissue of the mesentery that can lead to intractable abdominal pain. We report a case of a 74-year-old male with multiple autoimmune disorders, including paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and hypothyroidism, that presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain for over three weeks. Abdominal CT showed diffuse stranding of the mesenteric fat compatible with mesenteric panniculitis. The patient received treatment with steroids, which led to resolution of his abdominal pain.},
