  		Fig. 1 —CT scan of 68-year-old woman who had previous resection of large leiomyosarcoma of pancreas containing malignant pseudocyst. Huge low density mass occupies two-thirds of abdomen. Note one large area and several small areas of even lower density within mass, indicating multiple cysts. Diagnosis was massive recurrence of leiomyosarcoma of pancreas, with multiple pseudocysts within mass. Mass extensively invaded and abutted multiple intraabdominal organs.

  		Fig. 2 —64-year-old man with dull ache in left flank 2 years post left nephrectomy for carcinoma. No mass palpable; conventional radiographic studies normal. CT scan showing large mass in left retroperitoneum (arrows) contiguous with left psoas muscle. Mass, consistent with recurrent carcinoma, has central low attenuation coefficients suggesting some necrosis. (Reprinted from Stanley RJ, Sagel SS, Levitt RG. Computed tomography of the body: early trends in application and accuracy of the method. AJR 1976; 127:53–67 [3])
