Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues.

Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.

Preview- One can assume that, in this article we present a case of colonic cancer with pericolonic abscess, complicated by pneumatosis of the small bowel with gas in inferior and superior mesenteric veins and hepatic portal veins, with emphasis on CT scanning and its diagnostic accuracy. Bowel is the long, tube-shaped organ in the abdomen that completes the process of digestion. The bowel has two parts, the small bowel and the large bowel. Also called intestine. Abscess is an enclosed collection of pus in tissues, organs, or confined spaces in the body. An abscess is a sign of infection and is usually swollen and inflamed.
- One can conclude that, the hepatic portal tract from the dog with the portosystemic shunt is characterized by the lack of a portal vein, dramatically distended lymphatic space and an increased size with multiple small branches of the hepatic artery. Hepatic artery is the major blood vessel that carries blood to the liver. Shunt is in medicine, a passage that is made to allow blood or other fluid to move from one part of the body to another. For example, a surgeon may implant a tube to drain cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the abdomen. A surgeon may also change normal blood flow by making a passage that leads from one blood vessel to another. Artery is a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to tissues and organs in the body.
- Finally, it might seem apparant that, in the presence of hepatic tumors, enhancing expansile portal vein thrombus is highly suggestive of hepatocellular carcinoma. Thrombus is a blood clot that forms on the wall of a blood vessel or in the heart when blood platelets, proteins, and cells stick together. A thrombus may block the flow of blood. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of adenocarcinoma and the most common type of liver tumor. Carcinoma, cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
