Mesenteric panniculitis is an acute or subacute inflammatory disease that primarily involves the small intestine mesentery, rarely the mesocolon and omentum. In this case report, it is aimed to present the diagnosis and treatment process of our patient who applied to our clinic with acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with mesenteric panniculitis at laparotomy. A 62-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting that started two days ago. The patient, who had acute abdomen on examination but had no pathology other than small bowel type ileus, was hospitalized for medical treatment. Diagnostic laparotomy was performed to the patient whose abdominal examination did not improve despite medical treatment. At laparotomy, there were edema in the small intestine and multiple inflammatory areas (consistent with panniculitis) in the small intestine mesentery close to the intestinal wall. The patient, who was followed in the service at postoperative period and had no problems in the follow-up, was discharged on the 3rd postoperative day.
