Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen shows symmetric circumferential thickening of the wall of the stomach at the pylorus and antrum. There is a well-defined, lobulated, arterially hyperenhancing submucosal endoluminal lesion arising from the D2 segment of the duodenum measuring approximately 1.8 x 1.1 x 1.1 cm. There are multiple other, variable sized hyperenhancing lesions scattered in the peripancreatic region in the Passaro’s triangle.
