ANGIOMATOSIS OF THE ABDOMINAL-WALL - IMAGING FINDINGS IN 3 ADULTS

Radiologic studies were reviewed of three men (aged 25, 26, and 53 yea rs) with angiomatosis of the abdominal wall. Studies included plain ra diography (n = 2), computed tomography (n = 3), magnetic resonance ima ging (n = 2), and ultrasonography (n = 1). Intraabdominal (n = 3), scr otal (n = 1), and intrathoracic (n = 1) extension of the fatty infiltr ating process was seen, with multiple serpentine structures, some cont aining calcified phleboliths, representing proliferating vessels. Enla rgement of muscles (n = 2), bone (n = 1), and kidney (n = 1) adjacent to the angiomatosis also occurred.
