A plain abdominal radiograph ( fig. 1 ) showed no features of bowel obstruction and a possible foreign body in the right iliac fossa. A computer tomography (CT) scan ( fig. 2, 3 ), performed to rule out a caecal lesion, showed features of appendicitis and confirmed a foreign body in the appendix lumen. A 75-year-old man presented with a 3-day history of worsening right iliac fossa pain. He had ...

An enhanced Computer Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen is the principle method of diagnosis. However, as in our case, laparoscopic management of t...

The study was aimed to evaluate the features of various hepatic masses using triple phase multidetector computed tomography and to correlate features of triple phase multidetector computed tomography with clinical and cytohistopathology/operative findings. Technique of the triple phase was individualised as per the case with the application of empirical delay technique for timing the scan delay...
