[Reticulosarcoma of the stomach. Apropos of 3 cases]

The authors report 3 cases of gastric reticulum cell sarcoma upon 58 tumours of stomach observed in the period 1975-1978. They examine the anatomopathological aspects in conformity with the last classification, they dispute about the clinical aspects and they accentuate the difficulty whether clinical or instrumental to succeed in an early diagnosis but they confirm also the opinion a surgical therapy extremely aggressive in sole possible. This therapy aggressive, eventually associated with the irradiation therapy and sometimes with the chemotherapy, makes the prognosis of types of tumours remarkably better than forms carcinomatous.
