From a radiology (PET) report: "Lymphknotenmetastase im umgebenden imbibierten mesenterialen Fettgewebe"
"Imbibition of fat tissue" seems to be used occasionally, but I don't see it being used as "imbibed" - presumably because it would mean the tissue itself was swallowed.
I think the noun used for imaging is actually "fatty tissue stranding" but again it doesn't seem to be used as an adjective.
Does anyone know of a suitable adjective that would avoid an awkward workaround?

fat stranding
I agree with 'fat stranding', but rewording does not have to be awkward.
Suggestion: peri[...] mesenteric fat stranding with embedded lymph node metastasis. (Phil may likely have better wording in stock.)

Thank you, Renee :-) You don't happen to have a good native suggestion for this phrase, do you?

Comment: "Thank you both for your comments, I'll go with the (not-so-awkward, ok) workaround. Finding the CT reports quite a challenge because they are so "dense"..."

Als Imbibierung bezeichnet man das Eindringen von Flüssigkeiten in Gewebe im Sinne einer Durchtränkung.
2 Beispiel
In der Radiologie kann man in der Computertomographie bei entzündlichen Veränderungen im Bauchraum (z.B. bei Divertikulitis) im angrenzenden (hypodensen) perikolischen Fettgewebe feine hyperdense Straßen bzw. ein hyperdenser erscheinendes Fettgewebe sehen. Man spricht dann von einer Fettgewebsimbibierung, welche ein Indiz für eine phlegmonöse Umgebungsreaktion ist.

: Am completely in agreement with this and use the term ‘fat stranding’ almost everyday in my CT reports :) Mostly suggests underlying inflammation as described in Anne’s reference above
