    Celiac disease can cause a false pelvic mass on CT scans. Radiologists can prevent this misdiagnosis by recognizing normal small bowel appearance after contrast and using delayed scanning or ultrasound.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a common diagnostic imaging technique.
    • Accurate interpretation of CT scans is crucial for patient diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A patient with celiac disease presented with a computed tomography (CT) scan suggesting a spurious pelvic mass.
    • The initial CT findings mimicked a true pelvic abnormality.

    Findings:

    • The apparent pelvic mass was identified as normal small bowel loops.
    • This appearance was specifically noted after intravenous contrast enhancement during the CT scan.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this potential CT imaging pitfall is essential for radiologists.
    • Proper monitoring during CT examinations, including delayed scanning or real-time ultrasound, can confirm the nature of the finding.
    • Preventing misdiagnosis of a pelvic mass in celiac disease patients improves patient care and avoids unnecessary interventions.
