AGUILERA-ZARATE, Raúl; GUERRERO-HERNANDEZ, Juan Miguel  and  RENEE-SOTO, Dulce. Mesenteric angina in a patient with colonic lymphoma and prostatic adenocarcinoma. Med. interna Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.3, pp.486-489. ISSN 0186-4866.  https://doi.org/10.24245/mim.v34i3.1646.

Mesenteric angina is a syndrome caused by inadequate perfusion from the mesenteric vessels, resulting in ischemia and eventually gut necrosis. Although relatively rare, it is a potential deadly condition. We report a case of mesenteric ischemia which began with bloating, postprandial pain and weight loss on a patient previously diagnosed and treated from colonic lymphoma and prostatic adenocarcinoma.
