Figure 2. Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen showing evidence of a hypodense mass in the uncinate process. Patient A has a clearly defined fat plane between the mass and the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). The fat plane is absent in Patient B suggesting invasion of the vein. C and D show coronal views of a mass without and with SMV invasion, respectively.
