Pediatr Radiol. 2020 Aug;50(9):1180-1190. doi: 10.1007/s00247-020-04697-y. Epub 2020 May 30.

Abstract

Diagnostic imaging of pediatric gastric masses often provides a challenge for the practicing radiologist. Radiologists should be aware of this relatively unusual pathology, particularly in cross-sectional imaging findings. We will review pediatric gastric masses and mass-like lesions, focusing on neoplastic and inflammatory etiologies.
