Gastric Bull's Eye Lesion Differential Diagnosis
Labels:
CT,
differential diagnosis,
gastrointestinal,
mnemonic
While initially described on fluoroscopic studies, the gastric bull's eye lesion differential remains useful to know in the age of MDCT. A quick and dirty mnemonic for this appearance is KLM.
GIST and carcinoid tumor can also be included in the differential (but didn't fit the mnemonic so well). Rarely, a gastric lipoma can ulcerate and also give a targetoid appearance.
