[Case of leiomyosarcoma: diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in the rate stomach tumor].
Between the years 1996 to 2000 350 patients were operated due to cancer of the stomach in the Wielkopolska Cancer Center. There were 4 cases of leiomyosarcoma in this group. This tumour is characterized by hyperplasia in the form of a nodular mass beyond the stomach lumen, which is concerned with two crucial facts: the tumour already is palpable in early phase; it is difficult to obtain histopathological material for endoscopic examination. The treatment consisted of performing two partial resections of the stomach (Billroth II method) and one total resection (Rouh--Y method). In the fourth case palliative resection was performed: with partial resection of the stomach (Billroth II method) with the resection of nodules of the celiac stump, right part large intestine and one tumour in the left hepar lobe. All the patients who were operated on were discharged from hospital in good condition.
