Gastric liposarcoma: CT appearance

Abdom Imaging. 1993;18(3):232-3. doi: 10.1007/BF00198110.

Abstract

Two cases of liposarcoma of the stomach are described. At computed tomography (CT) the neoplasms showed features of an aggressive malignant tumor, with no fatty values within. We discuss the differential diagnosis of such lesions and conclude that, although rare, liposarcoma should be considered as a possible diagnosis when a large exophytic gastric mass is detected at CT.
