Diagnostic Ultrasound - Abdomen and Pelvis

Solid Peritoneal Mass
Differential Diagnoses:
Abdominal Wall/Peritoneal Cavity
(Left) Transverse highresolution
ultrasound of the
right upper quadrant shows
ascites ſt and nodular
peritoneal metastases st
from pancreatic mucinous
carcinoma. The liver was
not involved. (Right)
Longitudinal ultrasound of the
left pelvis shows a round, solid
mass ſt and ascites st from

Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
(Left) Transverse color
Doppler ultrasound of the mid
abdomen shows adenopathy
ſt sandwiching mesenteric
vessels st in a patient with
lymphoma. (Right) Color
Doppler ultrasound of the
lower abdomen shows a mixed
echogenicity subacute
hematoma st. No internal
color flow was found. Note
the patent common iliac
vessels ſt.
Lymphadenopathy
Mesenteric Hematoma
(Left) Longitudinal color
Doppler ultrasound of the
right lower quadrant shows a
solid mobile hypovascular
mass ſt with no demonstrable
attachment to any organ. This
proved to be a leiomyoma on
biopsy. (Right) Longitudinal
ultrasound of the mid
abdomen shows a large, solid
