Primary Gastric Leiomyosarcoma Presenting as an Endoscopic Diagnostic Pitfall: A Case Report
Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology
|June 17, 2026
Summary
Primary gastric leiomyosarcoma is rare and challenging to diagnose preoperatively. This case highlights imaging and endoscopic findings that can aid in its identification, despite initial misdiagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Leiomyosarcomas are malignant tumors originating from smooth muscle cells.
- Primary gastric leiomyosarcoma is exceptionally rare, with limited reporting in radiology literature.
- Preoperative diagnosis of gastric leiomyosarcoma presents significant challenges.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Pyloric Obstruction
Pyloric obstruction, also referred to as gastric outlet obstruction, is a condition characterized by narrowing or blockage at the pylorus—the muscular valve regulating the flow of stomach contents into the duodenum. When this passage becomes impaired, the stomach cannot effectively empty its contents into the small intestine. This disruption leads to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including early satiety, bloating, epigastric pain, postprandial nausea, persistent vomiting, and...
