1. Review a spectrum of common and unusual findings in the abdominal wall, including examples of different routes of pathological spread. 2.

1. Introduction 2. Diagnostic approach based on CT imaging features and pertinent history 3. Imaging algorithm for further workup 4. Challenge cases: congenital, infectious/inflammatory, neoplasm, iatrogenic 5. Summary
