The greater curvature and posterior wall of the stomach are the most common sites involving GT. We diagnosed a case of GT located on the inferior wall of the cardiac orifice in a 20-year-old man. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of GT located on the wall of the cardiac orifice in an adult in the English literature. We report this unusual case as an addition to this rare disease usually found in children. Computed tomography combined with endoscopic ultrasonography can be selected to diagnose GT.展开更多

Methods MR and MSCT were performed in 28 cases of cardiac cancer diagnosed by biopsy prior to operation. After an oral intake of 1000ml of water and an injection of hypotonic agent, MR and MSCT scan were adopted in two different days. MR sequences included FSET1W, FSET2W, FSET1W with fat suppression and dynamic enhanced FSPGR with fat suppression; MSCT was applied with dynamic triphasic contrast enhancement. All these findings were prospectively analyzed in two doctors separately and correlated with the surgery pathological findings. Statistic works were performed with SPSS. Results According to histopathologic staging, the accuracy for T1-staging detected with MR and MSCT were 88.8% and 11.1%, 77.78% and 22.20% for T2-staging, 83.33% and 32.67% for T3-staging, 100% and 50% for T4-staging, respectively. Compared with MSCT, dynamic enhanced and delayed MR with fat suppression was superior for revealing the involvement of esophagus and aorta, early stage of invasiveness and providing more evidences in T2 from T3 or T3 from T4 staging (P<0.05). Among these MR plain scan sequences, T1W with fat suppression was outstanding in depicting the gross features of the tumor, presence of ulceration, and adjacent lymph node swelling. Conclusion MR is superior in T-staging of cardiac cancer and can be used to optimize the therapeutic strategy, thus avoiding unnecessary operation.展开更多
