Abstract

A 75-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. An emergent operation was performed under diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Pathological diagnosis was acute gangrenous appendicitis. Abdominal computed tomogram showed calcification in the wall and mesenterium of the right side of colon. She had colonoscopy examination, barium enema after the operation leading the diagnosis of mesenteric phlebosclerosis. We reported a rare case of mesenteric phlebosclerosis.
