title: Visual survey of cancer dissemination: classic patterns on helical CT. Abdomen and pelvis.
abstract: Helical CT evaluation of the abdomen and pelvis can be challenging in the cancer patient. This pictorial essay illustrates the important sites of neoplastic dissemination in the abdomen and pelvis. We will emphasize the classic CT appearance of several selected sites and indicate, where appropriate, the primary lesions usually associated with each.
