[Benign tumors of the stomach]

The authors discuss seven cases of benign tumors of the stomach. The diagnosis was based mainly on x-ray findings. Even though in suspicious cases, a fiber gastroduodenoscopy was indicated. During surgery, three adenomat--ous polyps were found; three Leionas and one Neurnoma. The tumors were excized by gastrotomy. In two of the patients a Billroth I resection was performed. One of these two patients was operated on urgently due to serious bleeding without the aid of X-rays. This patient, a woman, withstood the operation well as did all of the remaining patient.
