Numerous radiological procedures are now available for investigation of upper abdominal masses of uncertain aetiology; however, certain limitations and pitfalls are associated with these procedures. It is suggested that the initial use of ultrasound and barium studies would frequently provide either a definite diagnosis or lead to the next appropriate line of investigation. The importance of not omitting the barium study is stressed.
