Abstract:
A very rare case of mesenteric teratoma is reported. Complete tumor resection is the main prognostic factor for survival in such cases. Therefore, an important factor for successful surgery is the exact preoperative visualization of the extent of the tumor, including visualization of the abdominal arteries. This report describes the use of spiral computed tomography with 3-dimensional reconstruction for visualization of the extent of multiple mesenteric teratomas.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
