[CT diagnosis of uterine cancer].

Computed tomographic feature of uterine carcinoma were described based on our own experience of 40 cases (cervix 35, body 5) and on the review of the recent articles. It was found to be not always possible to detect tumor infiltration not only at the cervix but lateral extension to the parametrium on CT. CT was quite effective, however, the diagnosis of iliac-paraaortic lymph node metastasis and invasion into the bladder and/or the rectum. Increased fibrous tissue and perirectal fat were the commonest postirradiation changes seen on CT. CT was the only measure to clarify surgical complication in some cases.
