False-Positive Gray-Scale Ultrasonography for Intra-abdominal Abscesses
Jerome J. Cunningham, MD
Arch Surg. 1976;111(7):810-811.
Abstract
Two patients had convincing mass lesions demonstrated with gray-scale echography and strongly supporting clinical evidence for intra-abdominal abscesses. Neither patient had a lesion at the time of surgery. Although modern echography is an accurate diagnostic method for intra-abdominal abscess, falsepositive results can occur.
