title: Roentgen manifestations of carcinoma in the gastric remnant.
abstract: Awareness of the increased incidence of carcinoma in the gastric remnant has not been accompanied by improved diagnosis or prolonged survival. The long latent period prior to development of tumor, the insidious nature of symptoms, and the anatomical distortion produced by surgery contribute to the difficulty in detection of these lesions. The radiological spectrum of carcinoma of the gastric remnant is discussed and both characteristic and unique radiographic features are illustrated.
