Enhancing ascites: an aid to CT diagnosis.

S W Wise1, J H DeMeo, R F Austin.   

Abstract

Enhancement of ascitic fluid on delayed contrast-enhanced CT has been described as a potential pitfall in diagnosis. We present a case in which the phenomenon was beneficial to diagnosis. Enhancement of ascites was useful in delineating the entire extent of a cystic pelvic mass. We also discuss probable molecular and histologic mechanisms responsible for this unique type of enhancement.
