LIPOSARCOMA OF THE STOMACH

We present a case of gastric liposarcoma, a very uncommon pathology; o nly nine cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the r adiologic findings of this neoplasm and emphasize the correlation betw een computed tomography (CT) and the macroscopic morphology of the tum or, which is conditioned by its histology. In our case, CT demostratio n of fatty areas within the gastric mass facilitated the diagnosis. Th is finding has not been described for liposarcomas of the stomach.
