Core Tip Idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis should be considered in patients presenting with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and a history of long-term gardenia-containing herbal medicine use. Characteristic linear mesenteric venous calcifications on computed tomography are the key diagnostic clue. Adenoma-like histological changes may occur but their malignant potential remains uncertain. Conservative management with discontinuation of implicated herbal medicine can achieve favorable outcomes in patients without severe complications. Long-term surveillance is recommended when adenoma-like changes are present.
