DIGESTIVE CARCINOID-TUMORS

Three examples of intestinal carcinoid rumours are reported. As the si gn in conventional radiology are non-specific and inconstant, the comp uted radiographic signs are stressed. Small bowel examination showed b oth direct signs, intraluminal filling defects, and indirect signs wit h separated bowel loops, sometimes angulated and fixed. In one unusual case, all the jejunal loops were affected. On CT the specific finding was a retractile mesenteric infiltration.
