Toldt's fascia, is a discrete layer of connective tissue containing lymphatic channels.
[1] It is found between the two mesothelial layers that separate the mesocolon from the underlying retroperitoneum.
It was first described by the Austrian anatomist Carl Toldt (1840–1920) as a fascial plane formed by the fusion of the visceral peritoneum with the parietal peritoneum.
This was later called Toldt's fascia.
