Abstract
FACUNDO NAVIA, Helena; RENDON-HERNANDEZ, Juliana and MESA, Jorge. Primary gastric sarcoma: Case report and literature review. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.1, pp.118-122. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.306.
Gastric cancer, a neoplastic pathology of undeniable importance, accounts for 90% of cases to adenocarcinoma. GIST lymphomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the majority of the other 10%. However, non-GIST sarcomas remain a possible differential diagnosis to keep in mind and constitute a neoplastic pathology whose treatment is fundamentally surgical. Leiomyosarcoma represents less than 1% of malignant stomach tumors, and the available literature consists of case reports or case series. Because of its rarity, we present this clinical case and review the literature.
Keywords : Leiomyosarcoma; gastric neoplasms; mesenchymal tumors.
