Gastric space-occupying lesions usually refer to imaging findings describing the presence of nodules, masses, etc. of unknown nature in the stomach, which may compress or displace the surrounding organs.
Gastric space-occupying lesions are not necessarily cancerous, and can be categorized as benign gastric space-occupying lesions and malignant gastric space-occupying lesions based on the nature of the occupying lesion. Benign gastric space-occupying lesions include mesenchymal tumors, smooth muscle tumors, etc., and malignant gastric space-occupying lesions include smooth muscle sarcoma and gastric cancer.
Tissues can be taken for pathological biopsy through endoscopy to clarify the nature of the occupying lesion, and endoscopic ultrasound is also feasible to clarify the level of the lesion and understand the depth of infiltration.
If the patient is diagnosed with gastric space-occupying lesions, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time, to clarify the cause of the disease, and then to carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor, in order to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
