Conclusion
The differential diagnosis between an inflammatory and neoplastic mass is extremely difficult, and at times impossible. An illustrative review of roentgen features of the numerous pathological manifestations is presented with the realization that the final diagnosis depends on a correlation with the clinical findings. In addition two cases of hypertrophy of the ileocecal valve and/or ileal prolapse are included.
