Diagnostic Ultrasound - Abdomen and Pelvis

Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
(Left) Longitudinal panoramic
ultrasound of the right
abdominal abdominal wall in a
patient with metastatic
squamous cervical carcinoma.
There is a peritoneal
metastasis ſt invading the
abdominal wall fascia .
(Right) CECT of the same
patient shows multiple
peritoneal metastases ſt and
small bowel obstruction .
The metastasis causing the
obstruction is not shown.
Diagnoses: Abdominal Wall/Peritoneal Cavity
(Left) Longitudinal ultrasound
of the pelvis in a patient with
recurrent endometrial
carcinoma in the peritoneal
cavity shows a septated cystic
peritoneal mass ſt and ascites
st. A more solid mass is
deeper. (Right) Axial CECT of
the same patient shows
ascites st and multiple
peritoneal masses ſt with
central cystic change. There is
minimal adenopathy .
(Left) Transverse color
Doppler ultrasound of a
peritoneal metastasis invading
the abdominal wall ſt in a
patient with pancreatic
neuroendocrine carcinoma
shows the mass is well
perfused. The presence of
ascites st improves detection
of peritoneal masses. (Right)
Axial CECT of the same
patient shows the superficial
metastasis extending through
the umbilicus ſt, but also
multiple other intraperitoneal
metastases st, one of which is
calcified.
