Overview
CT scan findings associated with linitis plastica include diffuse thickening and a narrow stomach lumen. A CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of linitis plastica, which include metastasis to the liver, adnexal metastases, ascites, or distant nodal spread.
CT scan
- CT scan findings associated with linitis plastica include:
- Diffuse thickening
- Narrow stomach lumen
- A CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of linitis plastica, which include:[1][2]
- Hepatic metastasis
- Adenxal metastasis
- Ascites
- Distant nodal spread
