Exogastric cystic gastric leiomyoblastoma with unusual CT appearance

Gastrointest Radiol. 1988;13(2):109-11. doi: 10.1007/BF01889037.

Abstract

Gastric leiomyoblastomas are rare tumors between leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas in terms of their malignant potential. This article describes 2 cases of exogastric cystic gastric leiomyoblastoma with unusual location and computed tomographic (CT) appearance. The CT findings of these cases were unlike those of usual smooth muscle tumors, but closely simulated cystadenomatous tumor of the ovary or pancreas.
