Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We examined the CT features of 22 patients with metastatic linit
is plastica to the rectum.
CONCLUSION. Metastatic linitis plastica to the rectum should be considered
when CT shows a long segment of circumferential rectal wall thickening, esp
ecially in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. In
such patients, CT helps avoid unnecessary extensive surgery.
