OBJECTIVE. In this essay, we illustrate the CT features of bloodborne metastases to the gastrointestinal tract from various malignancies with an emphasis on clinicopathologic correlation.

CONCLUSION. Familiarity with CT findings of bloodborne metastases to the gastrointestinal tract and an understanding of the disease spread pattern in common primary cancers will be helpful not only in detecting metastatic disease but also in minimizing the possibility of mistaking metastasis for another metachronous malignancy.

Keywords: bloodborne metastatic tumor • gastrointestinal radiology • oncologic imaging • radiologic-pathologic correlation
