Pioneer gastroenterological radiologic studies.

In the middle third of the 20th century, Mount Sinai radiologists were able to describe and establish specific radiologic criteria for the diagnosis of many gastrointestinal diseases. They then delineated specific radiologic patterns to diagnose such diverse conditions as inflammatory bowel disease of the small bowel and colon, protein-losing disorders, vascular disease of the small bowel, benign and malignant tumors, metastases and lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. Richard H. Marshak, Bernard S. Wolf, and Mansho T. Khilnani were the leaders in these radiologic investigations which established criteria that enabled generations of subsequent radiologists to arrive at definitive diagnoses.

Mesenteric fat necrosis simulating a carcinoma of the cecum.

Fat necrosis in the mesentery is an unusual complication of an adjacent inflammatory process. This report demonstrates a case of fat necrosis resulting in multiple irregularly firm masses measuring up to 4.5 cm. in diameter which produced extrinsic pressure on the cecum and ascending colon, simulating a carcinoma radiographically and at surgery. The fat necrosis was caused by chronic appendicitis in association with pylephlebitis.

Lymphoreticular disorders of the gastrointestinal tract: roentgenographic features.

Recent advances have permitted close correlation of characteristic roentgen signs with the pathophysiologic alterations in lymphoreticular disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The background of primary and secondary immunoglobin disorders with gastrointestinal manifestations is reviewed. The roentgenographic alterations in the small bowel of the enteropathic immunoglobulin deficiency syndromes and in lymphoma of the small bowel, stomach, and colon are discussed and illustrated in detail.

Pneumatosis cystoides coli.

Pneumatosis cystoides coli in most cases is a disease of unknown etiology. In a few patients, it is secondary to an infarction or ulcerative colitis. Associated pulmonary emphysema is not uncommon. The gas pockets, whcih may be of varying size, can be identified along the contour of the bowel. The left side of the colon is more frequently involved than the right. The lesion is usually segmental. The rectum is almost always spared. Symptoms are negligible and operation is not required.

Colonic Diseases↗

The radiology corner: metastasis to the colon.

This case serves to illustrate the multiple routes which may occur in the dissemination of carcinoma of the stomach of the large bowel. Spread along the gastrocolic ligament involves the superior aspect of the transverse colon with limitation laterally by the phrenicocolic ligament. Once ascites has developed there is spread along the superior border of the sigmoid and lateral margin of the right side of the colon.

Colonic Neoplasms↗

Immunoglobulin disorders of the small bowel.

In this article the authors present a detailed classification of the various immunoglobulin deficiency states that have gastrointestinal manifestations, and describe the roentgenographic features of these disorders.
