Helical CT appearance of glomus tumor of the stomach

Glomus tumor occurs only rarely in the stomach. This benign intramural mass is located most frequently in the distal half of the stomach. We experienc ed two cases of glomus tumor of the stomach which were examined with helica l CT and were confirmed pathologically. Both tumors were well-marginated so litary lesions, located in the gastric antrum. On the early-phase helical C T, an intact overlying mucosa was demonstrated in both cases, and both tumo rs showed a dense homogeneous contrast enhancement, which persisted to the delayed phase.
