Abstract:
Objective To summarize our experience on the diagnosis and treatment of gastric smooth muscle tumor.MethodThe clinical data of 34 cases with gastric smooth muscle tumor were analyzed retrospectively.ResultLeiomyosarcomas were ≥5 cm in diameter in 68% of all cases, and ≥10 cm in 50%. Most leiomyosarcomas were located in the fundus and corpus of the stomach (94%). Some patients of gastric leiomyosarcoma have the triad of epigastric pain, mass, and bleeding. Gastroscopy examination often reveals a mass lying submucously. Total or partial gastrectomy was performed for all patients based on tumor size and locus. The 3, 5, 10-year′s survival rate were 87%, 52% and 26% respectively. Conclusion Most gastric leiomyosarcomas are characteristic of local invasiveness, postoperative survival is often favourable.
