Case description

Another view of the tumor described above. Grossly, GIST of the stomach most frequently develop in the lower half of the stomach but may also be seen at the fundus. They are usually smaller than 3 cm but occasionally may be large at the time of diagnosis. Ulceration of the mucosa overlying the tumor is reported in 50 – 70% of tumors larger than 2 cm in diameter. Most gastric leiomyomas present as endogastric submucosal lesions and may be pedunculated but some, originating from the serosa, develop mainly as exogastric masses.
