Large Abdominal Mass

large abdominal mass

39 year old male with no previous medical history, presented with a vague abdominal pain, distention, weight loss (50Lbs over 3 months) and night sweats. CT scan of his abdomen revealed multiple large masses. The largest mass was 12cm in diameter and was arising form the root of the mesentery (see image above). One of the masses was encroaching on the superior mesenteric artery. The patient was scheduled for laparoscopic biopsy to obtain a tissue sample. He was suspected to have abdominal lymphoma.
