Figure 2. (A) Axial CT image at the level of the lower abdomen shows a swirling of the mesentery characteristic of volvulus alongside multiple soft-tissue density nodularities (arrowhead). (B) Coronal CT reconstruction demonstrates a large, confluent, nodular soft-tissue density mass involving a significant portion of mesentery (arrowhead) and encroaching upon the associated small bowel (star). Compare the appearance of the nodular mass with interspersed vessels to a portion of normal mesenteric fibroadipose tissue (arrow). (C, D) Axial images at the level of the pelvis shows nodular, thickened lumbosacral nerve roots (arrowheads).
