Describe the normal anatomy of the mesentery and its relationships to the other peritoneal folds. Identify the CT and MRI appearances of common and rare primary mesenteric neoplasms using a dedicated algorithm. Describe the different patterns of spread of secondary mesenteric neoplasms. Recognize the common appearance on CT and MRI of secondary mesenteric neoplasms and their pitfalls. Propose a treatment algorithm and describe the sites of the mesentery in which surgical debulking or resection may be difficult.
