Misty mesentery is a term that may be applied when stranding and an indistinctness is noted within the mesentery. This may be appreciated in the CT above in the region superior to the aorta and IVC. The differential includes, but is not limited to: lymphoma, mesenteritis (IBD), and treated lymphoma. [Courtesy of Dr. N. Jaffer]
