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

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.

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.
