Fig. 3D —77-year-old woman with mucinous appendiceal neoplasm. Coronal gadolinium-enhanced gradient-echo image shows confluent upper and large middle abdominal mesenteric mass (long arrows). Right subphrenic tumor (short arrow) is also noted. Note that degree of tumor enhancement is less than that of liver parenchyma. Both observers recorded level 2 enhancement (less than liver parenchyma), which indicates disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis or intermediate-type tumor. Extensive mesenteric tumor predicts incomplete surgical resection. At surgery, bulky diffuse abdominal tumor was found encasing transverse colon, mesentery, and small bowel. Cytoreduction was incomplete.
