Abstract

Gastric leiomyoblastoma is an uncommon intramural tumor, Its been regarded as a tumor of smooth muscle origin by its histological and electronmicroscopic characteristics. However, recent immunohistochemical staining techniques have shown that tumors diagnosed as leiomyoblastoma may have different tumor origins. We report a case of multiple leiomyoblastoma of the stomach thought to be of unknown derivation by Immunohistochemical study.
