title: [Abdominal organ-transcending tumors with special reference to peritoneal carcinosis. CT versus the surgical site].
abstract: In 41 patients with a histologically confirmed peritoneal carcinomatosis (n = 29) or lymphangiomatosis (n = 12) the preoperative CT investigations of the abdomen were compared with intraoperative findings. CT findings were differentiated between direct or indirect signs. The sensitivity of the various CT signs of peritoneal carcinomatosis or lymphangiomatosis was between 66 and 100%. Abdominal CT studies proved to be a reliable preoperative method if the findings were examined closely. A precise review even of indirect signs is of high diagnostic value.
