Computed tomography of gastric lipomas

  • Published:

Although conventional barium studies revealed the usual nonspecific appearances of submucosal tumors, their true fatty nature was easily demonstrated by computed tomography (CT). CT is a highly reliable noninvasive method for the diagnosis of gastric lipoma.
