Gastrointest Radiol. 1988;13(2):105-8. doi: 10.1007/BF01889036.

Abstract

Four cases of gastric villous tumors are presented. The radiologic features of these rare tumors in the stomach are described. Their high propensity for malignancy as compared to villous adenoma of the colon is emphasized. In 2 of 4 of our patients the villous tumors were malignant. The radiologic picture of villous tumors of the stomach is characteristic enough to suggest the diagnosis.
