Abstract

Aim:To study the relationship between the tumor size of gastric stromal tumors(GST)and its pathology and prognosis.Methods:Spiral CT findings and pathological sections of 43 patients with GST(9 benign cases,and 34 malignant cases)were reviewed and 24 patients were followed up.Relationship between tumor size and outcomes was studied.Results:Tumor size was related with benignity or malignancy,recurrence and metastasis within 5 years.The tumor with diameter 10 cm manifested higher malignancy,recurrence rate and metastatic frequency.Conclusion:Spiral CT is of great value in analyzing the tumor size and evaluating benignity or malignancy and prognosis of GST.
