[Leiomyoblastoma of the stomach]
Abstract:
The leiomyoblastoma of the gastrointestinal tract is a tumour which arises from the smooth musculature. With regard to its malignancy it is between leiomyoma on the one hand and leiomyosarcoma on the other. In 12% of the patients the leiomyoblastoma shows a malignant course. Males somewhat more frequently fall ill with leiomyoblastoma than females (ratio 1.3:1). The average age of the patients is 56.6 years. The most impressive clinical symptom is the gastrointestinal haemorrhage. In an own case problems of therapy are discussed. The mere enucleation of the tumour is not enough for cure. The resection of the stomach, at least of the involved part of the stomach, seems to be necessary.
