Primary abdominal wall abscess diagnosed by ultrasound.

Ultrasound was used to diagnose and demonstrate an anterior abdominal wall abscess of unknown cause in a diabetic woman. This condition may mimic major abdominal disorders and, in our patient, appeared as acute cholecystitis. The use of ultrasound is simple, quick, painless, and without known adverse side effects. The diagnosis may be more easily and accurately established than by routine roentgenography.

A case of localized gastric abscess producing an intramural filling defect in the stomach wall is presented. This condition is an unusual manifestation of phlegmonous gastritis and usually presents clinically with a less acute picture than diffuse phlegmonous gastritis. The clinical and roentgenographic features, pathology, treatment and prognosis are reviewed.
