  		Fig. 1B. —74-year-old man with 6-month history of nausea and diarrhea. Transverse sonogram of abdomen reveals well-defined hypoechoic mass (arrow) in mesentery. Mass corresponds in size and location to mass shown by left arrow in A. Anticipated path of needle is indicated by needle guide. Biopsy of mass revealed dense sclerotic fibroconnective tissue, consistent with chronic inflammation. Results were confirmed at exploratory laparotomy.
