Fig. 1.
A sonogram showing distal appendicitis (arrow)
Fig. 2.
On two sections, only in a standing position was cancer invasion of the cardiac orifice revealed
Fig. 3.
A. A fluid collection diagnosed in the mid abdomen below the pancreas (arrows). B. The same patient: the apparent fluid collection displays internal vasculature in colour Doppler imaging. A MALT lymphoma was diagnosed in samples collected from the transverse colon
Fig. 4.
Dense rugae of the greater curvature of the stomach body visualised through the spleen (S; distance markers)
Fig. 5.
On two sections, muscle layer proper of the antral part of the stomach thickening towards the pylorus can be seen (arrows)
Fig. 6.
Two sections show duodenojejunal flexure mimicking a retroperitoneal tumour (arrows)
Fig. 7.
Two sections demonstrated a hypoechoic lesion (arrows) in the retroperitoneal space which was the horizontal part of the duodenum
Fig. 8.
The appearance of the ileocaecal valve in an empty caecum. An echogenic structure (arrows) mimics intestinal lipoma
Fig. 9.
In another case in a similar location two lips of the ileocaecal valve can be seen (arrows)
