J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1986 Jul-Aug;10(4):629-33. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198607000-00016.

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.
