Gastroblastoma in a 12-year-old Chinese boy

Gastrablastoma is a rare epitheliomesenchymal biphasic tumor of stomach in children and young adults first reported by Miettinen et al in 2009. Five cases have been reported up to date including only one case with the nodal metastasis and distant metastases. With little atypism gastroblastoma is suggested to be a low-grade malignancy. Here we report one case of gastroblastoma in a 12-year-old boy with review of the literature. This is the first case of gastroblastoma in Chinese to our knowledge.
