THE relatively infrequent non-carcinomatous gastric tumors vary widely in gross morphology and associated roentgen manifestations. Benign tumors are frequently recognized (4); the others are seldom diagnosed roentgenographically. When a carcinoma or a benign tumor is simulated, the confusion is not so serious, if all gastric tumors are considered at least potentially malignant, and, when possible, subjected to microscopic proof. However, under a diagnosis of polyposis, hypertrophic gastritis, benign ulcer, or syphilis, surgery or irradiation may be withheld. Also sarcoma, still resectable, may resemble frankly inoperable gastric carcinoma or abdominal tumor (9). It may then be justifiable, in spite of the generally ackowledged absence of reliable roentgen signs, to survey these variegated lesions together for any predilections, roentgenographic or clinical, which will justify suspicion of their presence. Benign tumors of the stomach have been considered rare, but recent literature has established that the...
