  • Title: [X-ray computed tomography in pathology of the greater omentum].
    Author: Pandolfo I, Gaeta M, Blandino A, Faranda C.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1986 Oct; 72(10):729-32. PubMed ID: 3775091.
    Abstract:
    CT examinations were reviewed in 19 patients with proved omental lesions (15 metastases, 1 lymphoma, 1 benign mesothelioma, 1 echinococcosis and 1 tuberculosis). Four distinct but aspecific patterns of omental pathology were identified with CT: omental caking; finely infiltrated fat with a "smudged" appearance; discrete nodules; cystic masses. CT is the most reliable radiographic technique to routinely evaluate omental lesions.
