A CASE REPORT OF NEURINOMA OF THE STOMACH

Abstract

A 59-year-old woman had a abdomen tumor, so that she was hospitalized. Roentgenogram, endoscopy and super selective celiac angiograpy of the stomach revealed a walnutsized tumor on the anterior wall of the angle. The tumor had an ulceration in its midst with central necrosis. It also showed bridging folds, but otherwise it was covered with normal mucosa. As danger of bleeding was considered to have arisen from the ulcer, operation was performed. Gastrectomy was done according to Billroth I method. The resected neoplasm was a very localized one, measuring 6.5 × 6.5 × 3.5 cm, elliptical protruding with ulceration. Histologically it was diagnosed as neurimona of the stomach.
