Disseminated Gastrointestinal Polyposis on Multidetector CT Enteroclysis

Metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors mimicking gastrointestinal polyposis.

hospital because of hematemesis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed more than 10 gastric polypoid lesions (●" Fig. 1 a). The smaller lesions were sessile, clearly demarcated, and had whitish erosions on the surface (●" Fig. 1b). The larger lesions were sub-pedunculated, and indigo carmine staining revealed a constricted base and elongated gastric pits on the surface (●" Fig. 1c). These endoscopi...

CT enteroclysis in the diagnostics of small bowel diseases

BACKGROUND The role of CT enteroclysis is gaining on importance in the diagnostics of small bowel diseases. The aim of the study was to present own experiences in CT enteroclysis application, with the use of a 64-detector CT unit. MATERIAL/METHODS CT enteroclyses were performed in 60 patients: 53 with the suspicion of the Crohn's disease, 2 suspected for carcinoid, 1 with suspicion of the fis...

Hereditary Hamartomatous Gastrointestinal Polyposis Syndrome

Hamartomas represent localized overgrowth of cells in the parts which are normally associated with polyps, ie. mesenhimal, stromal, endodermal and ectodermal elements. Hamartomatous polyposis syndromes carry a significant risk of developing dysplasia, adenomas, gastrointestinal carcinomas, and pancreatic carcinomas. These syndromes may be classified on the basis of whether they represent heredi...

Multidetector CT of pancreatic hemangiopericytoma

Hemangiopericytoma is an aggressive, highly metastatic tumor of the soft tissues and meninges. Metastases have been reported in the liver, lungs, bones and rarely other organs. To the best of our knowledge, 18 cases of pancreatic metastases have been reported, but none have been described in the radiology literature. We report a case of hemangiopericytoma with metastasis to the pancreas and des...
