Ultrasound (US) and Multiphasic Computed Tomography (CT) represent the main imaging tools used for diagnosis. Clinical and imaging findings can mimick other pathological conditions affecting the mesenteric fat tissue. Contrast enhanced CT is the most accurate imaging technique for diagnosing mesenteric lipodystrophy due to the high panoramicity and accuracy with multiplanar imaging. Multiphasic technique helps to characterize the lesion and to recognize vascular anatomy. Oral administration of iodinated contrast medium may help to assess the relationship with bowel loops. All these diagnostic elements are crucial for the surgical timing and approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Due to the heterogeneous mesenteric involvement, the nonspecific CT findings and the high number of diseases for differential diagnosis, the detection of mesenteric lipodystrophy is challenging and requires early clinical suspicion.
