Different enhancement patterns of the solid masses. a,b: intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) in a old man with a history of left lower quadrant (LLQ) pain and abdominal distension for 20 days. A solid mass located in ileocecum that was misdignosed as colon carcinoma before surgery. The masses were homogeneously enhanced and the lumen of intestinal was narrow. c,d: ITB in a middle age man with a history of right lower quandrant (RLQ) pain for two year. A solid mass in cecum-ascending colon was displayed as “target sign”, (hyperenhancing inner and outer layer with hypoenhancing intervening layer) (white arrow). e,f: ITB in a young man with a history of RLQ pain for half a month. A solid mass in ileocecum was displayed as heterogeneous enhancement with caseous necrosis (white arrow)
