LEIO‐MYOMA OF THE STOMACH: A REPORT OF TWO CASES

David Whyte

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Summary Two cases of myoma of the stomach are reported. Haemorrhage determined admission to hospital in both cases–in the first case after symptoms suggestive of ulcer had existed for eight years, in the second case without any previous symptoms. In the first case the tumour occurred high up on the greater curvature of the stomach and projected into the gastro‐colic omentum. An ulcer extended through the stomach wall into the tumour. In the second case the tumour occurred in the cardiac portion of the stomach and projected into the lumen. Treatment was carried out by surgical removal and resulted in recovery.
