A: Axial computed tomography (CT) scan at the level of the inferior aspect of the kidneys shows extensive mesenteric adenopathy (red arrows); B: Axial CT image obtained more caudally, at the level of the iliac crest reveals mesenteric adenopathy (red arrows) and synchronous mesenteric panniculitis (yellow arrows) characterized by hazy mesenteric fat and separation of the mesenteric vessels; C: Coronal reformatted CT image demonstrates the extensive mesenteric adenopathy (red arrows); D: Coronal reformatted CT image, take dorsal to (C) depicts synchronous mesenteric adenopathy (red arrows) and mesenteric panniculitis (yellow arrows).
