Reviewer's report:
Hello
This manuscript works well. Mesenteric panniculitis is an uncommon condition.
The following is suggested.
1. Change the title. It should be more specific, such as "A Review of ...Cases of Mesenteric
Panniculitis in a ...(Community or Academic)Hospital in ..(Rural or Urban) China.
2. "9 outpatients and 8 hospital patients were admitted by searching the electronic medical record
system using the term ‘‘MP’’. Should say "Seventeen cases of MP were identified using the
search terms (was the term really MP?). How were the searches performed? Was it on the emr?
What is the method used to conduct the search?
3.  How was the CT analysis performed? Are you just reporting what was on the report, or did
an independent radiologist review the images? If so, was he listed as an author? If so, give his
initials when describing this in the methods.
4. "MP is usually incidentally found during abdominal CT scans for other reasons based on
typical radiological features". This needs a better explanation. Are you saying that it is an
incidental finding? Aren't many patients getting an abdominal CT because of symptoms? Maybe
better to say that "MP is usually an incidental finding in patients undergoing abdominal imaging.
5. "For the MP, there is no consensus about the treatment, and the purpose is to reduce the
symptomatology. " No consensus by whom? Does this mean no guidelines? Several studies are
retrospective based on "how we do it", such as those by Mayo Clinic.
6. Based on the above "Although there is no standard treatment, prednisone seems to be an
effective treatment", this makes no sense. Are you stating that based on your experience,
prednisone appears to be effective?
There are grammatical and sentence structure issues in the manuscript. Editing by an English
speaker is suggested.
