Fig. 3From: Diagnostic efficacy of imaging and biopsy methods for peritoneal mesothelioma in a calfSagittal computed tomography (CT) visualizing the abdominal cavity (a), and transverse CT obtained from a line established along the tunica vaginalis (TV) (b). a Peritoneal effusion (PE) is accumulated throughout the abdominal cavity. Enlarged nodules (N) are seen densely around the caudal region of the abdominal cavity and connected with the swollen tunica vaginalis (TV) via the inguinal region. Irregular and thickened walls (empty arrow) are seen within the cranial region of the peritoneum (P) and the diaphragm (D). L: liver. T: testicle. Scale: 50 mm. b Multiple small hyperdense spots are evident along the margins of the dorsal enlarged nodules (N). Peritoneal effusion (PE) is seen in the abdominal cavity and the scrotum. The tunica vaginalis (TV) is swollen. Scale: 25 mmBack to article page
