A well-circumscribed solid bulky lesion 12x11.5x9 cm in size, was located at the abdominal midline, near the abdominal wall, via computed tomography (CT) scan. (A) Using contrast-unenhanced abdominal CT, a heterogeneous bulky lesion consisting of hypodense cystic and hyperdense solid components was detected. (B) After the introduction of the contrast agent, no significant contrast agent uptake at the bulky lesion was detected.

A well-circumscribed solid bulky lesion, 12x11.5x9 cm in size, was located via computed tomography (CT) scan at the abdominal midline, near the abdominal wall (Figure 1).
A heterogeneous non-specific solid bulky lesion that has hypointense and hyperintense components and also cystic degenerative components at its center was seen in contrast-enhanced dynamic superior and inferior MRI scan images [fat-suppressed (A) coronal and (B) sagittal T2A scan images].

A heterogeneous non-specific solid bulky lesion with hypointense and hyperintense components, as well as cystic degenerative components at its center, was detected via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Figure 2).

The bulk, which was approximately 10 cm in size, was located at the abdominal midline and was highly adhered to the segments of the small intestine (Figure 3).
