[False positive tumour diagnosis in the caecum(author's transl)].
Radiographic appearances simulating tumours were found in 25 patients; the causes of the mistaken diagnosis are critically analysed.  The commonest mistake was caused by inflammatory process (eight patients), caecal contents (seven patients) and an enlarged ileo-caecal valve (five patients).  Ways of avoiding such misinterpretation are described.author
