Transverse post-contrast abdominal CT image at the level of the kidneys (A), Reformatted, left parasagittal post-contrast plane image (B), and a reformatted, dorsal post-contrast plane image (C), acquired with a soft tissue algorithm (window width, 330 Household Units [HU]; window level, 30 HU; slice thickness, 2 mm). (A): there is a large, fat-attenuating mass (M) that distorts and displaces the left kidney, spleen and other abdominal structures (white arrows). The mass separates the relationship of the internal and external abdominal oblique and transverse abdominis muscle layers (black arrows). Infiltration of the transverse abdominis muscle is visualized in the center of the muscular discontinuity (asterisk). (B): the mass causes cranioventral deviation of left lob of liver and spleen (white arrows). (C): the large fat-attenuating mass spreads across the left abdominal wall, displacing abdominal organs rightward. G = Stomach. LK = left kidney. RK = right kidney L = Liver. M = abdominal wall mass. S = Spleen. C = colon. D = Dorsal. L = Left. R = Right. V = Ventral.
