Cecal Carcinoma: Initially Diagnosed as Crohn's Disease on Small Bowel Follow-Through

Donald H. Taves, Linda Probyn

Open full text 6 citations

Abstract

Lesions in the terminal ileum are often difficult to visualize on routine small bowel follow-through (SBFT) and may require further investigation to rule out associated abnormalities in the ileocecal valve or cecum. This may be done by peroral pneumocolon at the same sitting as the SBFT, but may require bowel preparation. Two cases of cecal carcinoma that were initially diagnosed as Crohn's disease on SBFT without further investigation of the cecum are reported.
