Calcifying fibrous pseudotumour (CFPT) is a rare lesion that has only recently been reported in the literature. Usually, the lesion develops in subcutaneous tissue, deep soft tissues or viscera. It appears as a uniform, hypocellular and well-circumscribed mass without a capsule. Only nine cases of gastric CFPT have been reported in the literature so far. Here, we report a new case of gastric CFPT, which was, surprisingly, associated with an ulcer. To our knowledge, a gastric CFPT with an ulcer has not been previously reported in the literature. The patient (a healthy 49-year-old man) had vomited approximately 300 g brown liquid and developed syncope once. CT scan and gastroscopy revealed a polypoid mass at the great curvature of the gastric body with a larger ulcer on its top. The mass was removed by surgery. During a follow-up of 5 months, the patient was asymptomatic with no recurrence. We discuss the imaging findings, as well as the clinicopathological features of this unusual case and review the related literature.
ABSTRACT. Gastric haemolymphangioma is a very rare benign tumour. Pathologically, it is composed of lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. Only a few cases of haemolymphangioma have been reported in the literature so far, all of which developed at sites other than the stomach. The authors believe that a haemolymphangioma occurring in the stomach has not been previously reported. The patient was a healthy 68-year-old male who had felt light epigastric discomfort for 3 months. A CT scan and a gastrofiberscope examination revealed a well-demarcated mass on the posterior wall of the stomach near the lesser curvature. The mass was successfully removed by surgery. During the 18-month follow-up period, the patient was asymptomatic with no recurrence. In this case report, we discuss the imaging findings as well as the pathological features of this unusual case, with a review of the related literature.
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.
