(Same patient of the previous figure) After 3 years of negative follow-up of the mesenteric mass, the patient was admitted to the emergency room with abdominal pain. CT examination ((a) coronal and (b) sagittal planes) shows a significant growth of mesenteric mass. In particular, it is possible to appreciate two different components: the ill-defined mass previously described (red arrow) and a new large, well-defined mass (white arrow). After contrast administration, the mass is characterized by progressive and homogeneous contrast enhancement ((d) arterial, (e) portal and late venous phase). Moreover, the lesion infiltrates/tethers duodenal loop (yellow arrow) causing overdistension of small bowel (black arrows). US examination (c) shows a well-defined homogenous mesenteric mass. Histologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of mesenteric DT
