description Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a rare inflammatory and fibrotic disease of the mesentery of unknown etiology. It has various clinical and radiological manifestations, posing a diagnostic challenge for clinicians.

We describe a case of a patient with histopathologically proven MP, in which steroid dependence was successfully managed with colchicine.
