Primary leiomyosarcoma of the greater omentum: CT findings.

TLDR
On CT the tumors were multilobulated, flat, and pancake-like, with enhancing solid and multicystic densities, useful in the preoperative diagnosis of omental leiomyosarcoma.
Abstract
Three cases of primary leiomyosarcoma arising from the greater omentum are described. On CT the tumors were multilobulated, flat, and pancake-like, with enhancing solid and multicystic densities. The masses in all cases were located in the most anterior part of peritoneal cavity. These CT findings are useful in the preoperative diagnosis of omental leiomyosarcoma.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the lesser omentum: report of a case.

TL;DR: Histologically, the tumor was composed of spindle–shaped cells with an interlacing bundle pattern, and immunohistochemical examination showed that it was positive for myeloid stem cell antigen (CD34), but negative for HHF35 and S-100 protein, consistent with a GIST lacking myogenic features and neural attributes.
