Gastric adenomyoma in the stomach body: a case report

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Gastric adenomyoma is a rare benign tumor, known to occur in the antrum or pylorus of the stomach. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature of a gastric adenomyoma in the stomach body, but not in the antrum. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 79-year-old Korean woman with a gastric subepithelial lesion in the stomach body. The lesion was observed via endoscopy as a bulging mass in the stomach body with a cystic center. It was confirmed via endoscopic ultrasonography. A laparoscopic wedge resection was performed. A biopsy revealed epithelial and smooth muscle proliferation, and a final diagnosis of gastric adenomyoma was made. CONCLUSION Gastric adenomyoma can occur in the stomach body and can be treated completely with surgery.

Polypoid adenomyoma of the gastric fundus: an unusual endoscopic and pathologic presentation
Gastric adenomyoma (GA) is a rare benign lesion, most frequently found in the pyloric/antral region of the stomach. It consists of a mixture of smooth muscle and glandular structures, occasionally cystically dilated, lined by tall columnar epithelium, Brunner’s glands, and sometimes pancreatic parenchyma. In this report, we describe an unusual case of adenomyoma of the fundus of the stomach, wh...
متن کاملGastric adenocarcinoma associated with adenomyoma of the stomach.
We report a case of gastric adenomyoma contiguous with adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Although a similar association is well recognized in the duodenum, we believe this to be the first documented case in the stomach. We review the literature on adenomyomata and discuss the implications of this finding. It would appear that glandular and cystic intramural lesions of the stomach are a heterogeneo...

Gastric adenomyoma is a rare benign tumor composed of epithelial structures and smooth muscle stroma. Here, we report an unusual case of gastric adenomyoma mostly composed of smooth muscle that was incidentally found during a laparoscopic intervention. On radiology, it mimicked an acquired hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in an adult patient, and pathologically it resembled a pure smooth muscle ha...

Benign Gastric tumors are rare and generally account for less than 10% of all stomach tumors. Gastric lipoma is a rare tumor that constitutes approximately 3% of all benign tumors of the stomach and mainly is seen as a submucosal mass. Most gastric lipoma are asymptomatic and are found accidentally. Occasionally they can cause symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, abdominal p...

We report herein a 53-year-old Japanese female case of polypoid adenomyoma of endocervical type. A sessile 16 mm sized cervical polyp, hard in consistency, was surgically removed. Histologically, the polypoid lesion was composed of smooth muscle bundles and scattered benign-looking endocervical glands. The mucin was diffusely alcianophilic. Immunohistochemically, some mucous glands were positiv...
