DIFFUSE GASTRIC ABNORMALITY—BENIGN OR MALIGNANT

JAMES A. ROURKE M.D.1 and FREDERICK S. TOMCHIK M.D.1

1 Assistant in Radiology, Harvard Medical School; and Assistant Radiologist, Massachusetts General Hospital

A group of cases showing diffuse alteration in contour and fold pattern of the stomach has been analyzed in terms of roentgenographic manifestations which favor benign or malignant disease. Angularity of contour and a wall thickness of 1.0 cm. or over favor malignant disease. Features more common in the benign cases include deep and distensible crevices between thick horizontal folds along the greater curvature of the body, prominent vertical folds along the lesser curvature, localized S-shaped folds and crack-like projections from the lesser curvature. It is felt that search for and evaluation of the several criteria discussed will aid in differentiating benign from malignant diffuse gastropathy.
