ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the imaging manifestations in diagnosis lipoma of upper alimentary canal.Methods 8 cases with lipoma of upper alimentary canal were performed by barium meal and dual-contrast gastrointestinography(n=8),ultrasound(n=1),computed tomography(n=2)and endoscopy(n=5).Results (1)Barium meal and dual-contrast gastrointestinography could diagnose benign space-occupation of upper alimentary canal.(2)Ultrasound and endoscopy could diagnose benign space-occupation.(3)The density of fat of lesion could well be displayed by computed tomography and contrast-enhenment computed tomography and lipoma could be diagnosed before opertion.Conclusion The combination of gastrointestinography,endoscopy and computed tomography can be regarded as the first procedure for diagnosis lipoma of upper alimentary canal.
