Core Tip
Core tip: Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) has different clinicopathological features and prognosis compared with common stomach cancer without the hepatoid differentiation areas (non-HAS). This case report evaluated the computed tomography (CT) findings of patients with pathologically proved hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach. The results will aid the recognition of HAS and demonstrate that CT is useful in the differentiation of HAS from non-HAS.
