title: Gastric leiomyoblastoma: diagnosis by CT and ultrasonography.
abstract: A case of gastric leiomyoblastoma is reported in a 57-year-old woman complaining of upper abdominal discomfort. Ultrasound and CT examinations discovered an epigastric mass, and ultrasound manoeuvers by multiple positioning allowed to refer it to a gastric origin. Definitive diagnosis was established by histological examination of the surgically removed tumor. The authors emphasize the interest of the radiological examinations, particularly ultrasound and CT, in this rare condition.
