Primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors in the omentum and mesentery: CT findings and pathologic correlations.
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to describe the CT features of primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors in the omentum and mesentery and to identify any pathologic correlation.


CONCLUSIONS
On contrast-enhanced CT, primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors in the omentum and mesentery are usually well-defined, huge masses that contain large areas of low-attenuation necrosis and hemorrhage and that lack central gas.
