Peritoneal mesothelioma: hypertrophic gastroepiploic and omental arteries identified by radioimmune angiography.
We report a first case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma examined by radioimmune (RI) angiography with technetium-99m human serum albumin. The RI angiography clearly demonstrated the characteristic findings including hypertrophic gastroepiploic arteries and dilated omental branches. These findings may be very helpful in distinguishing malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas from peritoneal carcinomatosis.
