Diagnostic Findings of Sclerosing Mesenteritis and the Disease Correlations with Caecal Adenocarcinoma

Abstract

Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM) is a rare disease with non-specific clinical manifestations and should be supported by radiological examination and confirmed by histopathological evaluation. Its relationship with cancer especially caecal adenocarcinoma is still unclear. This case report describes a young man who was diagnosed as having SM and poorly-differentiated caecal adenocarcinoma.
