Abstract
Summary
1.
The meniscus sign was originally described by Carman as a sign of ulcerating gastric carcinoma.
2.
Inaccurate descriptions of the sign are given in a number of text-books and as a result simple ulcers may be mistakenly diagnosed as malignant.
3.
Five cases are reported as examples of the sign, and for comparison with them radiographs are reproduced of four simple ulcers showing an appearance which is often confused with the meniscus sign.
4.
Carman's sign, although uncommon, has been found by the present authors to be a reliable index of malignancy.
