    1. Patient Presentation

    • A 57-year-old asymptomatic man with no significant abdominal history underwent CT angiography (CTA) of the abdominal aorta and lower limbs as part of a vascular screen.
    • Incidental abdominal findings detected on CTA raised a clinical suspicion warranting further evaluation with CT enterography, which was performed 3 weeks later.
