Abstract

Separation of the left gastric artery from the gastric air shadow is a diagnostic sign of lesser curvature gastric lesions. This finding is especially helpful in patients with large exophytic wall lesions in whom barium examination, CT and ultrasound are not diagnostic. This was demonstrated in two patients with large leiomyomas of the stomach.
