With endoscopy of the GI-tract with biopsy, ultrasound, conventional radiology of the stomach and computed tomography a gastric leiomyoma was diagnosed. After en-bloc resection of tumor, part of the stomach and spleen, histologic examination and size of tumor changed diagnosis in gastric leiomyosarcoma.
