Anyone have any knowledge or experience of abnormalities in fat cells?

Does anyone know anything about a condition that would stop the blood supply to abdominal fat cells? The vet gave me the name but most of the info went over my head so forgotten it now :(

Also what other possible causes are there for abnormalities showing up in the abdominal fat on ultrasound causing real pain? Cancer has most likely been ruled out.

My knowledge of cells is fairly nonexistent!

I dont know much about it, I have just heard of it in humans and that it can be the precursor of various metabolic diseases including Type 2 Diabetes. I think it can also result in Liver and pancreatic problems. In humans I dont think there is a specific way that it can be diagnosed. I think the lay-person's name for it is 'Sick Fat Syndrome'
 
Thanks but there was a definite abnormality in the abdomen. She seems well besides this. If it is the first thing the vet suggested it is incredibly painful and requires major abdominal surgery :( but the best way for a definite diagnosis is to get a biopsy but there is no way we are opening her up twice....
