Gastric leiomyoma
Gastric leiomyoma
Definition
A rare benign smooth muscle neoplasm arising from the wall of the stomach. It is characterized by the presence of spindle cells with cigar-shaped nuclei, interlacing fascicles, and a whorled pattern. Unlike gastrointestinal stromal tumors, gastric leiomyomas are by definition negative for CD34 and CD117 (C-KIT).
Also known as gastric leiomyoma, leiomyoma of stomach, leiomyoma of the stomach, stomach leiomyoma — per MONDO
