Popis: Leiomyosarcomas of the stomach are rare malignancies. In Singapore, they account for only 0.7% of all gastric tumours. Nine cases of gastric leiomyosarcomas were treated in this department over a 20 year period from 1968 to 1987. Pre-operative diagnosis was difficult. All our cases' required laparotomy for histological diagnosis. Of the nine cases, there were eight gastrectomies (two repeated). None of the resected cases showed lymph node spread. There was only one long-term survival (8 years).
