  • Title: Pseudotumoral appearance of small bowel strictureplasty for Crohn's disease.
    Author: Kelly IM, Bartram CI.
    Journal: Abdom Imaging; 1993; 18(4):366-8. PubMed ID: 8220039.
    Abstract:
    In two patients with Crohn's disease, strictureplasties had been marked operatively by a metal clip, so that definitive location on subsequent small bowel examination was possible. Each strictureplasty presented radiologically as a short annular constriction with apparently shouldered edges and parallel lumen. Similar radiological features were found in five other patients with strictureplasties, suggesting that a pseudotumoral appearance is characteristic of strictureplasty. Attention is drawn to this finding to avoid confusion with malignancy.
