ABSTRACT

Mesentenc lipodystrophy is part of a spectrum of idiopathic primary inflammatory and fibrotic processes that affect the mesentery. Pathophysiologically, these processes may affect the integrity of the gastrointestinal lumen and mesenteric vessels by a mass effect. We report a 64 year old male with an ulcerative colitis who consulted in the emergency room due to hematochezia. The computed tomography revealed a marked mesenteric thickening and colon and rectal wall lesions. The patient was subjected to a proctocolectomy with a good postoperative evolution.


La lipodistrofía mesentérica es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica inespecífica progresiva que afecta el tejido adiposo del intestino delgado (mesenterio) o del mesocolon. Su etiología es idiopática y su fisiopatología permanece incierta. La lipodistrofía mesentérica con compromiso colorrectal es una condición muy poco frecuente y su asociación a colitis ulcerosa es aún mßs rara. No hemos encontrado ningún reporte previo en la literatura. Se comunica un caso de lipodistrofía colorrectal asociada a colitis ulcerosa que se presentó con sangrado digestivo bajo agudo masivo.
