“…Thirteen cases of hemoperitoneum due to gastric myogenic tumors including this case have been described in the (English-language) world literature (Table 1), [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] while 27 such cases have been reviewed in the Japanese literature. 13 However, there have been no other cases of life-threatening intraperitoneal bleeding from gastric leiomyoma.…”

“…3,9 Necrosis and cystic degeneration are also a possible cause of rupture. 4,5,7,8,[10][11][12] On the other hand, leiomyomas are unlikely to bleed spontaneously. Leiomyomas are frequently found in the uterus but are less commonly seen in the stomach.…”

“…Although 12 cases with hemoperitoneum secondary to gastric myogenic tumors have been reported, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] no similar cases due to gastric leiomyomas could be found in the (English-language) world literature. This report details the case of a man with hemoperitoneum secondary to exogastoric leiomyoma.…”

We report herein the case of a 63-year-old male with hemoperitoneum secondary to exogastric leiomyoma. The patient had been receiving anticoagulation therapy for a cerebral embolism and complained of sudden, severe abdominal pain. A sonogram and computed tomography scan showed an exogastric mass and massive ascites. A peritoneal puncture proved the presence of an intraperitoneal hemorrhage. An emergency laparotomy revealed a pedunculated bleeding tumor, thus confirming the preoperative diagnosis of a ruptured exogastric tumor. A microscopic analysis of the excised tumor demonstrated gastric leiomyoma. Other authors have reported hemoperitoneum secondary to gastric myogenic tumors, but no cases of leiomyomas could be found in the literature.

“…A second case bled 3 liters of blood from the intraperitoneal tumor surface before exploration. 17 The next most common presentation (40%) was a palpable abdominal mass with frequent complaints of enlarging abdominal girth and vague abdominal pain. A single patient presented with dyspepsia without bleeding or a palpable mass.…”

Four cases of leiomyoblastoma are presented which illustrate the clinical presentations and gross anatomical appearance associated with this type of tumor when it is clinically significant. Case 1 is unique in having a markedly elevated mitotic rate with no evidence of metastasis at autopsy; it is the third case presenting as a pancreatic pseudocyst. Twenty‐two cases of leiomyoblastoma reported in the literature since 1962 are reviewed. Experience with varying clinical presentations, gross anatomical and histologic appearances, and results of surgical therapy are summarized. Seven examples of metastasis of this tumor have been reported. In each case the rate of mitosis had significantly increased. Case 1 of our series had a mitotic rate from 2 to 3 times higher than those that metastasized, but no evidence of metastasis was present at autopsy. There may be variants of leiomyoblastomas with elevated mitotic rates that do not metastasize or do so only after a protracted course. Nevertheless, the mitotic rate remains die best criterion for prognosis.
