title: [Gastric leiomyoblastoma. (Review of the literature in the light of a case)].
abstract: Gastric leiomyoblastoma is a rare benign neoplasm, arising from the smooth muscle cell, that may become malignant. The most important symptoms are epigastric pain, sideropenic anaemia and upper GI bleeding, but frequently the diagnostic iter is difficult and definitive diagnosis is made only with histology after laparotomy. A personal case is reported and Literature data are reviewed; stress being laid on the uncertain biological evolution that influence mostly the choice of therapy.
