The gastric Leiomyoblastoma is a smooth muscle described in 1960 by Martin and in 1962 by Stout. These rare tumors are generally benign but may have a sarcomatous evolution in 11% of cases. They are characterized by the presence of large round or polygonal cells. Thin filaments are visible on electronic microscopy. Treatment of choice is the surgical resection.
