[A case of voluminous gastric fibroleiomyoma. Diagnostic problems]
Abstract:
The Authors present a case of gastric fibroleiomyoma characterized by its remarkable size (at least in this anatomic site) and, this notwithstanding, by the fact that, of all instrumental investigations, only abdominal echotomography supported the clinic relief of a neoplastic "mass" situated in the left hypochondriac region. Echotomography quite exactly, though not specifically, informed the Authors on the localization and conformation of the neoplasm, and on its not-infiltrating tendency and not belonging to parenchymal organs. The Authors therefore consider echotomography a determinant investigation for the surgeon willing to perform an explorative laparotomy, being in front of an abdominal "mass" of doubtful provenance.
