Abstract:
We present a case of gastric liposarcoma, a very uncommon pathology; only nine cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the radiologic findings of this neoplasm and emphasize the correlation between computed tomography (CT) and the macroscopic morphology of the tumor, which is conditioned by its histology. In our case, CT demonstration of fatty areas within the gastric mass facilitated the diagnosis. This finding has not been described for liposarcomas of the stomach.
