An analysis is presented of the data on 330 patients with extraorganic neoplasms of the small pelvis (ENSP), 110 of whom are children, 105 subjects had benign neoplasms, 225 presented with malignant neoplasia. ENSP are manifested primarily by pains in the pelvis and disturbances in physiological functions due to the adjacent organs and structures being squeezed. In applying for medical advice for the first time diagnostic procedures fail to show ENSP in each third (34.

Pelvic retroperitoneal pneumography (PRP) and pelvic computed tomography (CT) were performed on 33 patients with rectal carcinoma in order to compare the usefulness of the two diagnostic procedures in the preoperative assessment of local malignant extramural invasion. Six PRP-negative patients in whom no free air was visualized in the retroperitoneal space surrounding the mass, were all assessed as having extramural invasion by CT scan and all had histologic evidence of invasion. Of 27 PRP-positive patients in whom free air was seen surrounding the mass, 18 were diagnosed as having extramural invasion on CT, 15 of whom had histologic proof of invasion.

In 9 patients, no free air was visualized in the retroperitoneal cavity surrounding the mass, and histological evaluation of the excised specimens showed extramural invasion in all 9. The mean maximum diameter was 4.
