- W2220343487 abstract "The roentgen appearance of intra-abdominal calcification is important from the standpoint of diagnosis. Opaque foreign bodies, calcification in aneurysms. renal and biliary calculi, dermoids, and similar pathological conditions are usually diagnosed without difficulty. With careful attention to detail, other less common diseases can be detected and their nature correctly predicted. It is well recognized that psammoma bodies occasionally form in papillary growths of the ovary in both the primary and metastatic foci. In 1936, Loud (2) described a case of multilocular papillary cystadenoma of the ovary in which he proved recurrence by demonstration of psammomatous bodies radiographically. In 1942, Lingley (1) reported 5 cases in which the diagnosis was aided by roentgen examination. Since that time, occasional reports have appeared on the subject, both in this country and abroad. There are two rather characteristic features of psammoma calcification, as pointed out by Lingley, which help to distinguish it from other conditions: density and distribution. The characteristic density is less than that observed in almost any other type of calcification, such as fibroids, calcified lymph nodes, and calculi. The psammoma bodies, being very tiny and fairly uniform in distribution throughout the neoplastic region, produce shadows slightly more dense than ordinary soft tissue. With greater degrees of calcification, the density is increased, but usually it suggests that of scattered bismuth or barium several days after ingestion. In no other condition is the calcific process so extensive. Nathanson (3) reported a case which showed calcification in plaques throughout the entire abdomen, including the liver and even one lung. Other examples have been reported with deposits extending from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor. It is important to be sure that the patient has not been taking opaque drugs and is not a psychopath addicted to swallowing opaque earths. Such ingested materials can be misleading, although their distribution along the gastrointestinal tract should distinguish them. Case I: A 68-year-old white female complained of indigestion and upper abdominal pain, particularly after meals. Her abdomen was tender, and there was a tender mass in the epigastrium. On pelvic examination, the patient was found to have an elongated cervix, without ulceration, and a typical “frozen pelvis.” A gallbladder and upper intestinal study was undertaken, and numerous small calcific deposits were demonstrated, scattered throughout the abdomen, apparently confined to the peritoneal cavity. These varied in size and lay outside the intestinal tract (Figs. 1 and 2). The clinical history, physical findings, and roentgen picture were indicative of pelvic disease which had produced calcification. The density and distribution of the deposits were felt to be in accord with Lingley's observations, and a diagnosis of papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary was suggested." @default.
