ABSTRACT

Objective The study the multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) characteristics of gastric glomus tumor. Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with gastric glomus tumor were retrospectively analyzed, and the MSCT characteristics were observed. Results Among 8 patients, 3 cases were male and 5 cases were female, and the age was 25-67 years. The diameter of lesions were 1.3-3.5 cm, and lesions situated in the antrum of the stomach. Gastric glomus tumor showed strong enhancement in the arterial phase, and prolonged enhancement during multiphasic scans. Conclusions Gastric glomus tumor has some characteristics in MSCT. The prolonged enhancement during multiphasic scans of the subepithelial lesion should be suspected of the gastric glomus tumor.
