Abstract
Occlusion or extensive stenosis of the coeliac trunk due to malignant tumor is described in 3 patients. If angiography of a patient with a malignant tumor reveals occlusion of the coeliac trunk, tumor or lymph node metastases causing the occlusion must be considered; this diagnosis may be of importance when intra-arterial chemotherapy of the tumor is planned.
