Figure 2 A 64-year-old man with an ileocolic intussusception due to a ileum B cell malignant lymphoma. A sausage-shaped mass with high density soft tissue above represents the edematous bowel wall of the intussuscipiens and the intussusceptum, with fat density below, representing mesenteric fat. The higher linear density within the mesenteric fat (arrow) is mesenteric blood vessels. This appearance is caused by the axis of the intussusception being parallel with the computed tomography (CT) beam.
