62-year-old woman who underwent pretreatment CT for suspected advanced ovarian cancer

Caption

Simple structured CT report described presence of peritoneal implants in 6 anatomic locations. Disease was considered resectable based on CT report, and primary debulking surgery was performed. However, this surgery yielded suboptimal resection. Axial contrast-enhanced images from pre-treatment CT show disease involvement of sites of residual disease at surgery that were not mentioned in the report, including the gastric wall (stars, A), colonic wall (arrows, B and C), and small bowel mesentery (arrowhead, D).
