IMAGING APPEARANCES OF ILEOUTERINE FISTULA COMPLICATING RECURRENT ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE RECTUM

Enterouterine fistulae are rare and nowadays are most commonly due to pelvic tumours. We review the literature and present the case of a wom an who presented with an ileouterine fistula following surgery and rad iotherapy for recurrent rectal adenocarcinoma. The presence of tumour within the fistula track may also have been a significant aetiological factor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent method to de monstrate the site and size of the track and has not, to date, been us ed to identify such a fistula.
