Role of computed tomography angiography in detection and staging of small bowel carcinoid tumors

Figure 13 Recurrent metastatic small bowel carcinoid. 52-year-old male with metastatic small bowel carcinoid. He presented for follow-up one year after small bowel resection for carcinoid tumor. This case illustrates the imaging appearance of recurrent locoregional nodal metastatic disease. Axial arterial phase axial images show a small mass in the small bowel mesentery (arrowhead) with surrounding mild desmoplastic reaction, compatible with recurrence of metastatic carcinoid tumor. A surgical small bowel anastomosis is noted (blue arrowhead).
