Abstract

Gastric tumours are exceptional in children and are usually discovered due to digestive tract bleeding or after palpation of a mass in the abdomen. Appropriate exploratory techniques are need to correctly localize the lesions in the stomach. Nevertheless, the absence of any particular signs can mask the polymorphic nature of the lesions that can only be determined by pathologic examinations. The extent of the surgical exeresis and prognosis depend on the nature of the pathological process.
