Angiographic Features of Submucosal Tumors of the Stomach

抄録

Selective celiac arteriography was performed on 18 patients with various submucosal tumors of the stomach, diagnoses of which were confirmed by surgical operation except for one case. Angiographic findings were reviewed in comparison with macroscopic and histologic findings of operative materials. It was found that there were characteristic angiographic features depending upon the sort of tumors. It is considered that this method is useful to determine the localization and the extent of the tumor, and is valuable to differentiate benign from malignant lesion.
