AI Article Synopsis
- A case report discusses the rarity of pedunculated exogastric leiomyosarcomas, which are a type of stomach tumor.
- Approximately 25% of stromal tumors in the stomach are exogastric, but the pedunculated form is very uncommon.
- Current evidence suggests that local resection with a proper margin is adequate for treatment, as there is no sign of these tumors spreading into the abdominal cavity.
Article Abstract
A case report and review of the literature on pedunculated exogastric leiomyosarcomas are presented. Although about one-fourth of the stromal tumors (common leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas) of the stomach grow in an exogastric configuration, pedunculated exogastric leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare. At present there is no evidence of intraperitoneal seeding from exogastric leiomyosarcomas. Consequently, a local resection with an adequate margin is sufficient when no invasion to the adjacent structures, is observed.
