Síndrome del ganglio linfático mesentérico cavitado

Cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome (CMLNS) is a complication of celiac disease (chronic enteropathy characterized by intolerance to gluten ingestion) that is documented but poorly understood. Patients with CMLNS often present with weight loss that is refractory to treatment, fatigue, and diarrhea associated to clinical signs and laboratory findings of hyposplenism. Computed tomography shows multiple cystic mesenteric masses with a central low attenuation area caused by the presence of fluid and/or adipose material in the central cavity of the mesenteric lymph node.
