OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe selected variant anatomy, benign pathology, and posttreatment appearances that may be incorrectly attributed to malignancy at cancer investigation. CONCLUSION: Radiologists involved in cancer staging should be aware of benign imaging appearances that simulate malignancy. Failure to correctly identify these findings as such may lead to unnecessary patient anxiety, incorrect tumor staging, and inappropriate treatment.
The imaging appearances of surgical materials in the postoperative abdomen and pelvis can be confusing and difficult to interpret. With the increasing complexity of surgical procedures and more frequent use of postoperative imaging, the radiologist needs to be familiar with the imaging characteristics of a variety of intentionally and unintentionally placed surgical materials and devices. In addition, they must be differentiated from postoperative complications such as hematoma or abscess.
