Abstract

Objective: To investigate the CT features and pathology of gastric schwanomas. Methods: The CT imaging of 10 cases of gastric schwanomas proven by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with pathology. Results: All of the 10 cases had solitary tumor in stomach, with 6 in the body, 2 in the antrum and 2 in the bottom. All the lesions varied in size, but mainly less than 3 cm. Most of the lesions were of homogeneous iso-density or slightly low density. One case had slightly inhomogeneous attenuation, without any necrosis or cysts. Two cases had ulcer surface. After enhancement, all of the leisons had moderate enhancement in venous phase. Conclusion: CT features of gastric schwanomas had some characteristics and are helpful for the characterization and location of the tumor as well as assessing the relationship of the tumor and surrounding structures. Nevertheless, the concrete diagnosis needs pathology.
