[Echographic findings in a case of gastric leiomyoblastoma].
Gastric leiomyoblastoma is a rare stomach tumour arising in the muscular tunica. Its prevalently oesophytic development makes diagnostic techniques that mainly concentrate on the intestinal lumen (digestive X-ray and endoscopy) of little use. A case is reported in which echography pointed diagnosis in the right direction by analysing a number of typical symptomatological signs.
