- Abstract:
- Gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma (epLMS), which generally occurs in mid- or late adult life, is a rare smooth muscle tumor of the stomach. Out of 25 soft tissue tumors of the stomach operated at the Department of Surgery, University of Graz, two epLMS were diagnosed. This paper presents the case of a 67-year-old male with an epLMS in the corpus and of a 80-year-old female with an epLMS in the fundus of the stomach. The tumors were not diagnosed by gastroscopy; they were localized by sonography and CT-scan. In both cases the tumor was completely removed surgically, using a TA 90 4.8 mm respectively a TA 55 4.8 mm stapler. Diagnosis was reached by histological and immunohistochemical examination of the tumor tissue. Surgical excision with wide tumor-free resection margins is the therapy of choice in this tumor group.
