Evaluation of distant metastases by thorax and abdominal CT. No findings were detected in favor of additional metastatic foci in CT scans of thorax or abdomen other than thickening in the gastric wall and asymmetric thickening in the rectal wall. Arrow 1 indicates thickening in the gastric wall and arrow 2 indicates thickening in the rectal wall.
