Abstract:
Uterine metastasis from stomach carcinoma occurred in a patient who five years previously had undergonegastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma. CT scans showed an ill-defined lobulated low density mass in the center ofthe uterus. T1-weighted MRI imaging showed that the lesion was indistinct from the myometrium; on T2-weightedimaging it showed increased signal intensity and had infiltrated the myometrium. After Gd-DTPA administration, thelesion showed very little enhancement.
