Infarction of an epiploic appendage. Review of the literature.

Disease of the epiploic appendage remains a diagnostic challenge. We have seen a patient whose main preoperative findings were limited to an abnormal small bowel loop with thickened folds on a small bowel series, an association not previously reported, to our knowledge. We review the pertinent medical and radiological literature.

Multiple transverse folds in the gastric antrum.

Fine transverse folds of the esophagus are well described as a transient motor phenomenon seen in patients with or without gastroesophageal reflux. They appear to be due to contraction of the muscularis mucosa and are thought to have little, if any, significance. We have observed similar transverse folds in the gastric antrum during double-contrast upper gastrointestinal series in five patients. In contrast to the transient nature of the folds in the esophagus, these gastric folds were more persistent. They were seen in multiple spot images with the gastric antrum distended or partially collapsed and even during peristalsis. In follow-up studies, the folds were repeatedly demonstrated in two patients. Two patients had associated gastric polyps with histologic evidence of chronic gastritis; however, the antral mucosa appeared normal on endoscopy. The remaining three patients had no associated gastric disease. The pathophysiologic significance of these folds is yet to be determined; however, they appear to be clinically insignificant.

Computed tomography of Krukenberg tumors.

Computed tomography (CT) of three patients with Krukenberg tumor was reviewed retrospectively. CT showed large, lobulated, multicystic masses with soft-tissue components, indistinguishable from primary ovarian carcinoma. Indeed, CT and sonography of all three patients were initially interpreted as primary ovarian carcinoma. The ovary is a frequent site of metastases, particularly from colon carcinoma. These can be quite large, yet diagnosis is seldom made preoperatively. Much has been written about metastatic ovarian tumor, but this is the first report in the radiologic literature about their CT features. The authors emphasize the importance of recognizing the ovary as a frequent site of metastases and the proper approach to this problem. In patients with a history of colon or gastric carcinoma, the mixed cystic and solid ovarian mass on CT should be regarded as metastatic tumor until proven otherwise. A careful search for gastrointestinal tract signs or symptoms should be done in any patient with a pelvic tumor. When CT is done for evaluation of ovarian tumor, the stomach and colon should be carefully evaluated, and the ovaries routinely examined in the preoperative CT staging of gastric or colon carcinoma.

Primary ileal adenocarcinoma simulating Crohn's disease.

An unusual case of primary adenocarcinoma of the terminal ileum with a clinical and radiographic appearance simulating Crohn's disease is presented. This example further supports the concept that terminal ileal disease should not immediately be equated with regional enteritis.
