A. Ultrasound of the abdomen in the axial plane showing a lesion (solid arrow) in the umbilical region with multiple concentric hyperechoic and hypoechoic rings – target sign or doughnut sign appearance ( B, C ). On tracing the lesion further, eccentric hyperechoic mesentery (solid arrow) appears

Diameter of the lesion – 28 mm (long solid arrow), outer wall diameter – 5.5 mm (dashed arrow) and mesenteric fat core – 4.6 mm (short solid arrow). The fat core-to-outer wall index is 0.84
