  8. Case directory Mesenteric panniculitis (mesenteric lipodystrophy, idiopathic retractile mesenteritis) • Characterize different stages of a pathologic process that results in fibrofatty thickening of the mesentery • Panniculitis: primary component is inflammatory • Lipodystrophy: when fatty degeneration predominates • Retractile mesenteritis (or sclerosing mesenteritis): when the predominant component is fibrosis • MC idiopathic, fat necrosis can be caused by infection, recent surgery, or a foreign body • Degeneration and necrosis of fat eventually leads to extensive fibrosis

  14. Case 5

  15. Splenic hamartoma • Case findings: • Hypervascular, heterogeneous mass in the posterior aspect of the spleen which exerts mass effect on the left kidney • Mass is hyperdense in the arterial phase and isodense to splenic parenchyma on non-contrast and portal venous phases • Hypodense areas within the mass which may represent cystic components or necrosis

  16. Case directory Splenic hamartoma • Also called splenomas, or nodular hyperplasia of the spleen • Benign, associated with tuberous sclerosis • Malignant splenic tumors (lymphoma, mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, metastases)  MC hypodense and avascular • Complication: splenic rupture • DDX hyperdense splenic mass: • Cavernous hemangioma • Splenic hamartoma • Hemangioendothelioma • Malignant fibrous histiocytoma • Inflammatory pseudotumor

  17. Case 6

  18. Juvenile polyposis • Case findings: • Multiple large lobulated filling defects within the cecum extending into the ascending colon • AD, but can also occur de novo • Polyps are hamartomatous, but there is a risk of malignant transformation (9-50%) • MC type of related cancer is colon cancer (LC gastric and pancreatic cancers) • Presentation of JP is MC with GI bleeding

  19. Case directory Polyposis syndromes • Hamartomatous polyps: • Cowden (multiple hamartoma syndrome): associated with breast and thyroid cancer • Peutz-Jeghers • Multiple hamartomas  MC stomach • Mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation • Adenomatous polyps: • Familial polyposis coli • Turcot: associated with brain tumors (GBM, medulloblastoma) • Gardner’s syndrome: colonic polyps, osteomas (frontal sinus, mandible), ST tumors (desmoid tumors, epidermoid inclusion cysts, fibroma, lipoma, leiomyoma) • Juvenile polyps: • Juvenile polyposis coli • Cronkite-Canada: inflammatory juvenile polyps

  20. Case 7

  21. Visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) • Case findings: • Fusiform aneurysm of the proper and common hepatic arteries • Narrowing of the lumen of the aneurysm due to thrombus; however flow is demonstrated within the aneurysm • Left hepatic artery is thrombosed (not shown)

  22. Case directory Visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) • MC splenic artery aneurysms (60%) • Hepatic artery aneurysms: • Intrahepatic aneurysms: • MC secondary to trauma • LC polyarteritis nodosa, infusion of chemotherapeutic drugs, CVD • Extrahepatic aneurysms: • MC solitary, atherosclerosis degeneration
