Abstract
In this paper, we report a case of bizarre leiomyoblastoma associated with early cancer of the stomach, together with a review of the literature. A 77-year-old male, who had the sensation of epigastrial fullness, visited the department with a diagnosis of IIc type early gastric cancer. On laparotomy, a 4.5×2.5×1.5cm mass was found on the anterior gastric serosa. The cancer, which was located in the posterior wall of the gastic antrum, and the mass were resected by subtotal gastrectomy. The lesions were histologically diagnosed as cancer limited mucosal layer and bizarre leiomyoblastoma of the stomach respectively. As the bizarre leiomyoblastoma of the present case had no surrounding invasion and almost no nuclear mitosis, and the cancer penetration was limited to the mucosal layer, a favorable prognosis can be expected.
