Mesenteric panniculitis also known as lipodystrophy is an inflammatory condition of adipose tissue. A case of a 55 year old, female who presented a weight loss and a tender palpable mass located in the left flank is reported. CT patterns were not specific but might suggest the diagnosis: fatty mass, with a higher density than subcutaneous fat, located in the root of the mesentery and surrounding mesenteric vessels without distoting them. Intestinal loops were only pulled in periphery. This signs are not always present and even in this typical pattern mesenteric panniculitis could not be differentiated from liposarcoma. Thus an histological proof was needed. The evolution was good, with resolution of the abdominal pain. The knowledge of this rare Radioclinical syndrome should prevent any aggressive therapy.
