It is the region which is home to pathologic conditions which include primary tumors, neoplasms of adjacent organs with secondary invo l vement, congenital or acquired cystic lesions and inflammatory lesions. In this article, we describe CT and MR imaging anatomy and various pathologic processes that affect this anatomic region, with a brief discussion. Emphasis is give n to imaging features that help to characterize specific lesions.
