Imaging Abdominal Masses

Objectives: To determine the frequency and clinical pattern of mass in rightiliac fossa. Study Design: Cross sectional multicenter study. Period: One year (from 03 March2014 to 02 March 2015). Setting: Patients with right iliac fossa mass of >11 years of and ofeither gender admitted in department of surgery at Liaquat university hospital Hyderabad /Jamshoro and Peoples University Hospital Nawabshah. Patients and methods: The data wasanalyzed in SPSS 16 and the frequency and percentage was calculated. Results: During oneyear study period, out of 227 patients, 112 subjects were observed to have right iliac fossa massdue to different etiologies, of which 82(73.2%) were males and 30 (26.8%) were females. Themean age ±SD for overall population was 39.32±8.66 while it was 37.88±6.75 and 38.93±7.72in male and female population respectively. The male population was predominant while thepatterns observed were appendicular mass in 19(17%), appendicular abscess in 26(23.21%),ileocaecal tuberculosis in 38(34%), carcinoma caecum in 14(12.5%), psoas abscess in 5(4.46%)and others in 10(9%) respectively.
