Answers:
Well, mesenteric means that it relates to the mesentery which include the tissue folds in the abdominal cavity that connect the intestines to the back of the abdominal wall. The mesentery contains arteries, veins, lymphatic ducts and nerves that supply the intestines.
Adenopathy refers to a glandular disease or enlargement of glandular tissue (especially of the lymph glands). In the case of mesenteric adenopathy, this would refer to enlargement of glandular tissue affecting the abdominal lymph nodes. Mesenteric adenopathy is a self-limited inflammatory process that affects the mesenteric lymph nodes in the right lower quadrant. Its clinical presentation mimics that of acute appendicitis.

The mesentary is a fold of the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and surrounds the organs contained within it. The mesentary supports and suspends the 2nd & 3rd portions of the small intestine. Mesenteric adenopathy is a condition wherein nodes (growths)are present on the mesentary. There is a risk for malignancy. You really need to sit down with your daughter's doctor for a session of Q & A. Please do this soon.
