MATERIAL AND METHOD: The abdominal CT images of 16 patients (12 men, 4 women: mean age 49 +/- 17SD) with pathologically proven GISTs during 1998-2005 were retrospectively reviewed. The tumor sites, sizes, borders, growth patterns, patterns of enhancement, and sign of malignancy were evaluated. The findings of benign and malignant GISTs were compared. RESULTS: Among sixteen patients, the most common location of GISTs was stomach (56.25%). The others were small bowel (43.75%), and tumor size larger than 5 cm. The present study found that the smooth and mixed smooth and irregular surface lesions are equal in number (50%). The growth was extraluminal in 56.25%. Almost all tumors had inhomogeneous density (n = 15). Intratumoral gas (43.75%), fluid (37.5%), and calcification (50.00%), were present in the tumors. All cases showed inhomogeneous contrast enhancement. The CT signs of malignancy found were invasion of the adjacent organ(s) (62.5%), lymphadenopathy (25%), liver metastasis/nodule (18.75%), ascites (6.25%), perilesional fat plane stranding (93.75%), and pleural effusion (6.25%). CONCLUSION: The most common site of GISTs is the stomach. The typical tumors appear as inhomogeneous enhancing inhomogeneous extraluminal mass with either well-defined or irregular border. The CT findings cannot be used as a single tool for differentiating the benign from malignant GISTs. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=19117 ------>authors2=Chen HC ------>authors3=Leung TK ------>authors4=Chen YY ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Lee CM ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Gastrointestinal stromal tumor: computed tomographic features. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=NULL ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2004 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=1 |
