Abstract
Gastric leiomyosarcoma (GLMS) is a malignant, smooth muscle neoplasm accounting for not more than 0.45%-3.5% of primary gastric malignancies and 17%-20% of all smooth muscle tumors of the stomach. A well-characterized variant has been variously referred to as leiomyoblastoma and epithelioid leiomyosarcoma. Because of the rarity of GLMS, few authors have tried to correlate clinical presentation, pathological findings, and treatment. There is no uniform therapeutic approach for leiomyosarcoma of the stomach and reported survival rates vary widely. We present a 56-year-old man whom we treated for this condition.
