Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan reveals diffuse enhancing wall thickening (arrow) without an obvious mass-like lesion.

• 

  Fig. 2. (A) Viewed grossly, a well-demarcated gray-brown firm solid mass is confined to the mesenteric fat (right). (B) Microscopically, there are dispersed sparse spindle cells and occasional dystrophic calcification among thick wavy collagen bundles (left upper). (C) Patchy lymphoplasmacytic infiltrations are found throughout the tumor.
