Abstract
Computed tomographic findings are reviewed in 25 patients with a palpable mass in the anterior abdominal wall. Computed tomography allowed a specific diagnosis when the mass was due to a hernia and hematoma. In the other cases a specific diagnosis could not be made but CT allowed a detailed evaluation of the extent of the disease.
