Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a relatively rare pathology characterized by idiopathic local chronic inflammation of adipose tissue, mainly affecting the mesentery of the small intestine. The purpose of the study is to describe a case of MP. A 60-year-old patient visited a rheumatologist due to the progressive deterioration of his condition for the last 4 months and revealed changes on the computed tomography of the abdominal cavity. Treatment protocol: methylprednisolone 8 mg/day, pantoprazole 40 mg/day; continue with antihypertensive drugs. On the background of treatment after 2 months, the temperature became normal, appetite improved, and weakness decreased, with no relapses of abdominal symptoms. Diagnosis of MP is a difficult task, which has to be solved by primary care specialists. This clinical case is an example of MP diagnosis and positive dynamics of the patient's clinical condition during therapy.

Despite advances in multimodal cancer therapy, such as combining radical surgery with high-intensity chemoradiotherapy, for SMARCB1/INI-1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma (SDSC), the prognosis of patients remains poor. Immunotherapy is gaining increasing popularity as a novel treatment strategy for patients with SMARCB1/INI-1-deficient tumors. Herein, we report on the management of three patients with SDSC who received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy as a part of multimodal therapy based on surgery and chemoradiotherapy.
