Radiohistology as a new diagnostic method for barium granuloma.
Barium granulomas are rare complications of the barium enema. They pose diagnostic problems to the gastroenterologist, who may suspect a carcinoma, and to the pathologist, who may have difficulty in determining the precise nature of the foreign body. From four cases we suggest a simple and quick diagnostic method: paraffin-block roentgenography.
