Cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome is seen in association with celiac disease and is characterized by the triad of:

- low attenuation lymphadenopathy that sometimes contains fat-fluid levels
- villous atrophy
Terminology
Both "cavitating" and "cavitary" are seen in the literature, however cavitating is far more commonly found.
