Fig. 3. —Normal colonic wall thickness in 81-year-old woman with breast cancer. Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan of cecum suggests bowel wall thickening with target appearance (arrow). However, ventral wall is thin, without target appearance (arrowhead). Occasionally, residual fluid in bowel can mimic submucosal edema and bowel wall thickening, as in this case. Identifying focal area of distention without adjacent fluid will clarify wall thickness.
