Out of 59 cases of peritoneal carcinosis (PCA) diagnosed by either laparoscopy, laparotomy, or post mortem 50 cases (85%) could be recognised as such retrospectively by computerized tomography (CT). Beside diagnosing direct metastases one was able to show more subtle indirect signs such as alterations at the mesenterial root, greater omentum and in the pelvis. The accuracy of the CT in the diagnosis of PCA is discussed.
