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

Year: 2026

Type: article

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.
