Enteroliths in association with right hemicolectomy for cecal carcinoma.
In this paper we present an asymptomatic patient with enteroliths as a result of prior hemicolectomy for cecal carcinoma. We briefly review the clinical, pathologic and radiographic findings found in such patients. The significance of this condition is to realize that it is usually a benign entity per se, but that it may also be a clue in determining underlying pathology within the GI tract.
