Abstract: | A case of leiomyosarcoma of the remnant stomach is reported. The patient was a 57-year-old woman whose chief complaint was easy fatigability. Twenty six years earlier, she had undergone gastrectomy with the diagnosis of duodenal ulcer. By X-ray examination of the stomach, a Borrmann type I gastric cancer was suspected on admission. Endoscopic study of the stomach was performed, and a diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was made from the biopsy specimens. Total gastrectomy was performed. On the resected specimen, a Borrmann type I like tumor measuring 4.5 X 5.5 X 3.2 cm was identified in the anterior part of the body of the remnant stomach. Histologically, the lesion was confirmed as leiomyosarcoma of the stomach. |
