title: Beyond hernias: a multimodality review of abdominal wall pathology.
abstract: The diagnosis of abdominal wall pathology is often obvious on clinical physical examination; however, multimodality imaging often yields incidental, and occasionally important, findings aiding in assessing the overall clinical picture. While various hernias are common, there are numerous other causes of abdominal wall pathology. Knowledge of these entities is crucial to avoid misinterpretation and assure proper radiological judgment.
