Computed tomography of an exophytic gastric hemangioma with torsion and intratumoral hemorrhage.
A case of exophytic gastric hemangioma with intratumoral bleeding due to torsion of the tumor pedicle is reported. A radiograph showed a mass without phleboliths. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 14-cm mass with high densities due to hemorrhage, which was contiguous to the stomach and extended to the pelvis. The tumor showed no remarkable enhancement on post-enhanced CT due to torsion of the tumor pedicle.
