Unique imagings of CT and MR in liver metastasis from gastric leiomyosarcoma.
We report unique features of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the metastatic lesion of the liver in a case of gastric leiomyosarcoma. A CT scan and MR image demonstrated presence of a huge multilocular cystic lesion in the liver, of which finding were unlike to those of usual smooth muscle tumors, but mimicked to those of cystadenomatous tumors. In addition, this case had an extremely long elapsing time over ten years from the radical operation for the primary site.
