Caption: Transverse scan of the abdomen
Description: A large heterogeneous, predominantly hypoechoic mass is seen in the abdomen.

Caption: Scan of the mass at a different level
Description: The heterogeneous mass shows a few cystic appearing areas. The entire mass shows evidence of increased through transmission of sound.

|
Caption: Transverse scan of the abdomen
Description: This image shows that the mass is predominantly in the mesenteric location.
|
|
Caption: Sagittal color Doppler image of the mass
Description: The mass shows areas of increased vascularity and also appears to encase the superior mesenteric vessels.

Caption: Spectral waveform analysis of the encased vessel
Description: The encased vessel is the superior mesenteric vein and appears patent. A few areas showing no color flow at all are also visualized in this image.

Caption: Spectral waveform analysis of encased vessel
Description: The second encased vessel is the patent superior mesenteric artery.

Caption: Sagittal scan of the mass during biopsy
Description: An ultrasound guided biopsy was performed and the tip of the needle can be seen within the mass.

Caption: Axial CT scan
Description: This CT image shows the mesenteric location of the mass and its close proximity to the anterior abdominal wall.
