Mesenteric desmoid tumour masquerading as a fat-containing cystic mass.
Mesenteric desmoid tumour (MDT) is an uncommon neoplasm that typically presents as a solid soft-tissue mass on cross-sectional imaging. MDT manifesting as a fat-containing cystic mass on CT has not been described in the literature. We report such an unusual case with clinicopathological correlation.
