  • Title: [Value of profile aortography for the topographic diagnosis of intraperitoneal masses: a report on 5 cases (author's transl)].
    Author: Dana A, Tubiana JM, Monnier JP, Chermet J.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1979 Dec; 60(12):769-72. PubMed ID: 529228.
    Abstract:
    The superior mesenteric artery was found to be displaced posteriorly in 5 patients with intraperitoneal masses. In 3 cases, the mass was a mesenteric tumor, and in the 2 other cases a tumor arising from the retroperitoneal area which had grown into the mesentery. The authors emphasize, therefore, the value of defining the position of the superior mesenteric artery in the sagittal plane for the topographic diagnosis of intraperitoneal masses. This investigation does not, however, eliminate the possibility of a retroperitoneal origin of the tumoral mass.
