We report the F-18 fluorodeozyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography appearance of a biopsy-proven primary gastric sarcoma in a 24-year-old man who presented with early satiety, dyspepsia, and weight loss. Gastric sarcoma is a rare form of malignancy constituting approximately 0.3% to 8% of malignant soft tissue tumors of the stomach. The tumor appears as an ill-defined heterogeneous mass protruding off the lesser curvature of the stomach on computed tomography with central photopenia and peripheral intense uptake on positron emission tomography images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
