title: [Ultrasonic diagnosis of tumors of the cecum and ascending colon].
abstract: The results of preoperative ultrasound investigations were compared with the intraoperative findings in 42 patients (27 women, 15 men) operated on because of tumours of the cecum or colon ascendens. In 34 of 42 patients (i.e. 81%) the tumour could be correctly diagnosed by ultrasound. In 3 cases the investigator was not sure about imaging the tumour. Only in 5 cases (i.e. 12%) the tumour was not identified by ultrasound scanning. 4 out of these 5 patients had attended the hospital to be operated on because of a carcinoma of the rectum and the second carcinoma of the large bowel was found by chance intraoperatively. In 16 patients in whom the diagnosis of a large bowel carcinoma had not been established before, the tumour could be primarily diagnosed by ultrasound.
