title: [Gastric neurofibroma--still a diagnostic problem].
abstract: We report a case of gastric neurofibroma encountered in 41-year-old woman who complained of dyspepsia and physical examination revealed palpable mass in her abdomen. It was not possible to determine the nature and origin of the tumor by radiological and endoscopic investigations. At laparotomy the tumor was found to be pendiculated and growing extramurally from the anterior wall of the stomach. Wedge gastric resection, including the mass, was performed. Histological examination revealed a spindle cell gastric tumor, immunohistochemically differentiated as a neurofibroma.
