Figures & data

Figure 1 Computed tomography scan of 52-year-old man with mucinous carcinoma in rectum.

Notes: Computed tomography scan shows severe rectal wall thickening with large areas of low attenuation (arrow).
Figure 1 Computed tomography scan of 52-year-old man with mucinous carcinoma in rectum.

Figure 2 Computed tomography scan of 55-year-old man with nonmucinous carcinoma in rectum.

Notes: Computed tomography scan shows mass-forming rectal wall thickening with heterogeneous enhancement (arrow).
Figure 2 Computed tomography scan of 55-year-old man with nonmucinous carcinoma in rectum.

Figure 3 Computed tomography scan of 29-year-old woman with signet-ring cell carcinoma of the rectum.

Notes: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan shows concentric rectal wall thickening with target sign. Also noted is diffuse perirectal tumor infiltration (arrowhead). At surgery, tumor had invaded to seminal vesicle.

Figure 4 Computed tomography scan of 32-year-old man with signet-ring cell carcinoma of the sigmoideum.

Notes: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan shows concentric rectal wall thickening with target sign. At surgery, tumor had invaded peritoneum (arrow).

Figure 5 Computed tomography scan of 53-year-old woman with mucinous carcinoma in cecum and proximal ascending colon.

Notes: Computed tomography scan shows concentric uneven bowel-wall thickening along with evidence of pericolic fat infiltration (arrow). Hypoattenuated area is greater than two thirds of tumor (asterisk).
Figure 5 Computed tomography scan of 53-year-old woman with mucinous carcinoma in cecum and proximal ascending colon.

Figure 6 Computed tomography scan of 69-year-old woman with mucinous carcinoma in descending colon.

Notes: Computed tomography scan shows large mass with heterogeneous enhancement. Hypoattenuated area is greater than two thirds of tumor, and enhancement in solid portion of tumor is less than that of normal bowel wall (arrow).

Figure 7 Computed tomography scan of 59-year-old woman with signet-ring cell carcinoma of the rectum.

Notes: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan shows concentric rectal wall thickening with target sign (arrow).

Figure 8 Computed tomography scan of 44-year-old man with mucinous carcinoma in descending colon.

Notes: Computed tomography scans show small intratumoral calcification (arrow) within hypoattenuated area of eccentric bowel-wall thickening.
