Giant epithelioid leiomyoblastoma of the stomach--a diagnostic dilemma.
Epithelioid leiomyoblastoma (ELB) of the stomach is an uncommon slow growing smooth muscle tumour, attaining enormous size and presenting with bizzare symptoms. We report one such case which posed a diagnostic problem to both the clinician and the radiologist; the condition was diagnosed after laparotomy and histological examination.
