“…One of them also had a large calcified mesenteric metastatic mass (30 mm) surrounded by smaller hypoechoic nodules and in close vicinity to the superior mesenteric artery. Calcified mesenteric masses and perivascular encasement of the major mesenteric vessels are also often reported in the literature [8,12,19]. Angiography was not performed in any patient but color Doppler examination performed in three tumors showed hypervascularity in the two largest tumors of the study.…”

“…The usefulness of MR is still limited by motion artifacts and needs further investigation. Selective arteriography of the superior mesenteric artery may be useful in showing hypervascular SBCT and multifocal lesions or metastases [12]. This test is invasive and needs precise indications.…”

This paper is based on a retrospective analysis of the radiographic findings in 18 new proven cases of carcinoids of the gastrointestinal tract. Examples of lesions involving different segments together with a detailed review of the pertinent literature are provided. Background information regarding the malignant potential of all carcinoids with particular reference to invasiveness, size, site, and symptomatology is discussed. Depending on the time of the examination during their development, carcinoids present either as smoothly defined, mostly small intramural nodules, or as large infiltrating and ulcerating malignant looking tumors. When mesenteric infiltration is present, a more specific combination of findings composed of submucosal nodules, separation of loops, and localized kinking may be seen. The demonstration of an isolated, sharply contoured defect does not exclude malignancy. The less common radiographic manifestations of tumoral calcifications and bony metastases are reviewed and illustrated.

“…In patients with mesenteric carcinoid metastases, elastic sclerosis involving arteries and veins has been reported [12]. The fibrotic and sclerotic processes cause narrowing, occlusion, and often a radiating arrangement of the intramesenteric vessels [13]. The elastic vascular sclerosis apparently also involves the lymph vessels [12]; in our case this caused chylous ascites.…”
