CT features of intraperitoneal manifestations of parasitic infestation.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the CT features of intraperitoneal manifestations with parasitic infestation in nine patients.


CONCLUSIONS
The CT features of intraperitoneal manifestations of parasitic infestation were single or multiple multiseptated cystic masses in the peritoneal cavity, hazy omental infiltration, or both. Recognizing these features is important to establish an early diagnosis that leads to rapid treatment and helps avoid unnecessary surgery.
