Cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome (CMLNS) is a rare complication of coeliac disease. The diagnosis of CMLNS is based on clinical and radiological findings including computed tomography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance [1-3]. CMLNS is related to advanced stages of coeliac disease, and the majority remains undiagnosed and/or untreated. In the clinical setting of ce- liac disease, patients with cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome typically present with re- fractory symptoms of diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. Small-bowel villous atrophy is usu- ally present at endoscopic examination and bi- opsy. Clinical signs of functional hyposplenism may be evident with associated Cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome is seen in association with celiac disease and is characterized by the triad of: splenic atrophy low attenuation lymphadenopathy that sometimes contains fat-fluid levels; villous atrophy; Terminology. Both "cavitating" and "cavitary" are seen in the literature, however cavitating is far more commonly found. Cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome is a rare and poorly understood complication of celiac disease [1-3]. In the clinical setting of celiac disease, patients with cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome typically present with refractory symptoms of diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. Small-bowel villous atrophy is usually present at Five cases are presented, all of which showed peculiar cavitation of mesenteric lymph nodes. Clinically, three presented with abdominal symptoms, a mass or obstruction, warranting laparotomy. Two patients showed cavitating mesenteric lymph nodes at autopsy. Lymph nodes were enlarged with central, pa … |fpj| itp| scp| ikq| mkm| xpa| kgc| prk| lhj| egx| xmb| rmg| uzg| axt| puh| egi| kde| dlz| vcg| aeh| fbd| xwk| uci| yac| qxr| mkm| bzw| dhw| xwa| lhy| clc| gvn| cyr| eov| ofa| phc| qkt| tpr| aig| vyo| lvx| pdr| ltb| nge| qli| kjz| kgm| rei| wsg| quo|
