The “spoke wheel” sign is a radiological finding described on CT images of small bowel carcinoid metastasis in the mesentery [1]. This appearance is generated by soft tissue linear stranding within the mesentery, radiating from the centrally located metastatic implant toward adjacent bowel loops, resembling a “spoke wheel” (Fig. 1) [1].
