title: Gastric leiomyosarcoma (Review).
abstract: Gastric leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of the stomach which has seldom been described in the literature. Three patients, aged 47, 55, and 72 at time of presentation, were treated by the authors between 1985 and 1989. Clinical and pathological findings, treatment and outcome are discussed. A literature review is provided to establish a correlation between clinical and pathological findings, surgical and oncological treatment, and rate of survival.
