Primary Gastric Leiomyosarcoma: A Rare Case.

Curēus 2023 November
Gastric leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare. In this paper, we present a case of primary gastric leiomyosarcoma located in the fundus/cardia region. The tumoral spindle cells show diffusely moderate nuclear atypia, with focally marked atypia and rare mitotic figures. Additionally, the tumoral cells exhibit positive immunoreactivity to smooth muscle actin and desmin while testing negative for CD117 (c-kit). The tumor was successfully resected through a laparoscopic partial gastrectomy, and the patient experienced a full recovery. There has been no recurrence or metastatic tumor detection during the seven-year follow-up period. Furthermore, we conducted a literature review on primary gastric leiomyosarcoma.
