title: Lymphangioma of the stomach--report of a case and review of the literature.
abstract: A rare case of a 66 year old man with lymphangioma of the stomach is presented herein. Upper gastrointestinal X-ray series revealed a slow growing submucosal tumor in the anterior wall of the antrum of the stomach which was subsequently found to be lymphangioma after a partial gastrectomy. To our knowledge, this is only the thirteenth case of lymphangioma of the stomach to have been reported in the English literature. A brief review of the English and Japanese literature is presented following the case report.
