The authors report a new case of myoid tumour of the stomach, a chance discovery in an asymptomatic patient. The diagnosis of a heterogeneous tumour of gastric origin was made possible by echography and tomodensitometry. The myoid nature of the tumour was confirmed histologically. With the recognition of this new case the literature on the subject was reviewed. The features special to these tumours are studied with emphasis on the usefulness of echography and tomodensitometry in diagnosis, also the therapeutic approach to be adopted with regard to these tumours.
