[Diagnostic value of double contrast in the study of benign gastric neoplasms].

Personal experience in cases of benign tumors of the stomach is presented. Between May 79 and May 82. 2250 patients were examined by double contrast method. Three cases of benign tumors of the stomach are reported: one leiomyoma of the fundus, one aberrant pancreas and one hyperplastic polyp. Diagnosis was made by radiography and confirmed by endoscopy. The method has greatly increased the possibility of diagnosing tumors of the stomach; it is now possible to distinguish benign tumors from malignant tumors. Our results suggest that an experienced radiologist can detect most of benign tumors of the stomach and often make a differential diagnosis.
