Medical - Medical (general) / Upper abdominal CT
German term or phrase: Mesenterialansatz
Hi,

I am afraid I have no context, except that the CT revealed:
"ausgedehnte Lymphomausmauerungen im Retroperitoneum, am Mesenterialansatz und im Leberhilus".

Is this just a synonym for mesentery?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Chetan appropriately pointed out to me that "Mesenterialansatz" in correct anatomical use is not the same as "Mesenterialwurzel". Yes, it is actually the attachment of the mesentery along the guts, 13 to 14 yards long...
I am so familiar with the mis-use of "Mesenterialansatz" in doctor-speak, and knowing that the abdominal lymph nodes are located in the root area rather than on the "Ansatz", I didn't even bother to explain my answer...

A retractor muscle where many muscle fibers are coming directly off the main longitudinal muscle sheet (Carlgren, 1949; p. 8). In cross-section, it resembles a broad, thin sheet, spread extensively over the ** mesenterial surface ** and not very sharply marked off at its edges from the longitudinal muscle

neutral  casper (X): What is 'Mesenterialwurzel' then, I wonder? I thank you in advance for your clarification

  -> Oops, Chetan - you are absolutely right again! Thanks, and please see my added note.

agree  Cetacea: This kind of thing happens when you know your subject too well... ;-). In other words, I agree this is very probably a misuse of "Mesenterialansatz".
