Figure 5 Schematic summary of localizations of local and lymph node recurrence patterns on contrast enhanced computed tomography at different levels of the upper abdomen. A: Offspring celiac trunk; B: Offspring superior mesenteric artery; C: Middle part of mesenteric root; D: Distal mesenteric root. Light green: Local recurrence in the area limited by cT (celiac trunk), (portal vein) PV, (inferior vena cava) IVC (top left); light green: Local recurrence in the area limited by superior mesenteric artery (SMA), PV, IVC (top right); yellow: Lymph node recurrence to the left of the aorta above/below the level of the renal vein; dark green: Local recurrence along the SMA; red: Lymph node recurrence in the mesenteric root close to the SMA.
