[Gastric leiomyoblastoma. Description of a case with the cytological findings and review of the literature].
A case of gastric leiomyoblastoma observed in a 76 year old woman, with details of its cytological and histological diagnosis, is reported. Cytologically, the tumour showed spindle-shaped cells, either single or arranged in clusters and bundles and constituted of epithelial-like cells with moderately irregular and hyperchromatic nuclei. The macroscopic specimen showed an ulcerated mass measuring 3.5 x 2 x 2 cm. Histologically the neoplasm showed interlacing fascicles of spindle-shaped, pleomorphic and epithelioid cells, infiltrating the gastric smooth muscle tissue, but not extending beyond it. The main cyto-histological diagnosis and parameters predictive of benign and malignant behaviour in leiomyoblastoma are discussed.
