Broken line and full line below it show abnormal outline ofdiaphragm in expiration and inspiration respectively. (Cut one-third life size.) While it is far more difficult to recognize a new growth in theabdominal cavity, by an X-ray examination, than when it is situatedin the thorax, yet there are cases in which we may be guided by thismethod in determining whether or not the disease in the former regionhas extended above the diaphragm. For example : — Carcinoma of the Liver. — Bernard B., thirty-nine years old ; patientof one of my colleagues; was suffering from carcinoma of the examination by auscultation and percussion indicated to his physician CESOPHAGUS, ABDOMEN, AND PELVIS 377 that the disease had extended into the thoracic cavity.
