(a) Cytological examination with Giemsa-May-Grunwald staining (Giemsa, 1/200 dilution, 5 minutes of staining) showed medium-large atypical cells containing nucleoli with fine/lacy nuclear chromatin. (b) Axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a homogeneous hypodense mesenteric mass located anterior to the aorta and encasing the superior mesenteric artery (arrows). (c) Pelvic images revealed significant intraperitoneal fluid and peritoneal thickening (arrows). (d) Axial fat-saturated T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and (e) axial non-contrast CT performed after treatment showed no identifiable mass or ascites according to MRI, while CT revealed tiny mesenteric calcifications due to treatment (arrow).
