ABSTRACT
Mesenteric lipoma (ML) is a relatively rare disease that has been very infrequently reported. We present the clinical data and medical imaging results of an asymptomatic case with ML incidentally detected by sonography (US). On US the lesion was imaged as a well-demarcated hypoechoic mass with multiple linear echoes. The mass also changed location under probe compression. The lesion was imaged as a clearly demarcated non-enhanced homogeneous fat-density mass on CT. Color Doppler US and angiography confirmed the avascular nature of the mass. Knowledge of the US findings in this case is useful for the diagnosis of ML.
