Characteristics of uncommon gastric tumors and tumor-like lesions

CT features
Benign tumors
Glomus Tumor Small, solitary, and hypervascular tumor at gastric antrum
Schwannoma Homogeneous attenuated gastric tumor
Leiomyoma Small, endoluminal growth, hypoenhanced tumor at gastric cardia
Lipoma Fat contained tumor
Malignant tumors
Adenocarcinoma Polypoid, or generalized mural thickening, or focal mural thickening with/without ulceration tumor
The mucinous type has punctate or miliary calcification within the tumor
GIST Exophytic hypervascular GI mass arising from submucosa with central ulceration, amorphous calcification
Lymphoma Regional or diffuse wall thickening preserved perigastric fat plane and lymphadenopathy extending below the renal hila
Carcinoid Type I and II, small, polypoid lesion, with marked enhancement. Type III, larger, sporadic, solitary tumor with distant metastasis
Tumor-like lesion
Ectopic pancreas Small solitary lesion at greater curvature of distal antrum with enhancement similar to pancreas
Bezoar Intraluminal gastric filling defect with mottled appearance

GIST: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor; CT: Computed tomography.
