Clin Imaging. 2004 Nov-Dec;28(6):418-21. doi: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2004.04.001.

Abstract

Adenocarcinoma of the stomach represents upwards of 95% of all gastric malignancy. Calcifications in untreated gastric cancer are rare, but typically represent mucin-producing tumor. We report the radiology and pathology of a patient who presented with gastric wall calcifications on CT and a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma at pathologic examination of a gastric biopsy specimen.
