Figure 2. Mesenteric fibrosis in midgut NET. (A) Transversal and (B) coronal plane contrast-enhanced CT images of a patient with a cecal NET and a mesenteric metastasis (arrow). A desmoplastic reaction consisting of fibrotic strands can be seen radiating from the mesenteric tumor mass, which can compromise venous blood flow from the bowel. The mass is partly calcified.
