Calcified rims: characteristics but uncommon radiologic finding in pseudomyxoma peritonei

H N Douds et al. Gastrointest Radiol. .

Abstract

Curvilinear calcifications on abdominal radiographs are described in a patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei, and the literature on the radiographic findings in this disease is reviewed. This sign is infrequent but characteristic. Other radiographic features of the case are also presented, as well as ultrasound and gallium scans. The latter have not been reported previously in pseudomyxoma peritonei and showed the uncommon finding of "cold" lesions.
