Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This article focuses on masses that are hypervascular on IV contrast-enhanced CT. CONCLUSION: The rising use of dual-phase IV contrast-enhanced CT will result in an increase in incidental detection of hypervascular gastric masses. Radiologists must be aware of the range of abnormalities that may appear as a hyperenhancing gastric mass because the differential diagnosis includes both benign and malignant lesions.
