Pyloric wall thickening in carcinoma stomach: a pseudokidney sign on computed tomography.
Bowel wall thickening on ultrasound simulates appearance of kidney. The appearance of kidney on contrast enhanced computed tomography is entirely different. However, surprisingly bowel wall thickening or mass can mimic this appearance even on contrast enhanced computed tomography. A case of pyloric malignancy with pseudokidney appearance on contrast enhanced computed tomography is being reported.
