Neoplastic Lesions of the Mesentery: A Case Series of Rare Pathologies

TL;DR

This paper presents a case series of rare mesenteric lesions, emphasizing their diagnostic challenges and imaging features.

Contribution

The study provides a detailed analysis of rare mesenteric pathologies with a focus on tomographic findings.

Findings

Mesenteric neoplasms are rare and often misdiagnosed due to non-specific symptoms.

Tomographic imaging features can aid in distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions.

Histopathological confirmation is crucial for accurate diagnosis of mesenteric lesions.

Abstract

Mesenteric neoplasms are rare and frequently unconsidered in diagnosis. They include primary and secondary neoplasms, as well as some non-neoplastic conditions that mimic tumors. Diagnosis is often challenging, though certain clinical and radiologic features can aid early identification. Here, we present a series of histopathologically confirmed mesenteric neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions, highlighting representative imaging features and reviewing relevant literature, with emphasis on tomographic findings.
