    Author: Villanueva A, Pérez C, Sabaté JM, Llauger J, Giménez A, Sanchis E, García T, Moreno A.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1995 Oct; 87(10):707-14. PubMed ID: 8519536.
    Abstract:
    CT findings of 107 patients with non lymphomatous malignant peritoneal disease were retrospectively evaluated. The most common malignancies encountered were ovarian neoplasms (46%), followed by gastric (14%) and colonic carcinomas (10%). In 12 cases (11%) the primary site was unknown. Peritoneal and extraperitoneal findings were evaluated. Signs most frequently observed were: peritoneal implants (82%), ascites (70%), mesenteric implants (65%) and omental involvement (52%). Appreciation of the spectrum of CT findings in peritoneal carcinomatosis is essential for an accurate evaluation of scans in patients with abdominopelvic malignancies.
