case_images: An abdominal CT revealed the presence of a soft tissue mass located in the root of the mesentery, 4.7x4.1x5cm, heterogenous with some calcifications within (Figure 1), with thickening of the surrounding fatty tissue, vascular encasement without infiltration of the vessels and lymphadenopathy (Figure 2).
