ABSTRACT

El leiomioma gástrico es un tumor intramural, extramucoso, localizado, en la mayoría de los casos, en el tubo digestivo superior, a nivel del tercio distal del esófago y porción superior del estómago. Puede afectar ambos sexos, pero es muy raro en la edad pediátrica. Aumenta su incidencia a partir de la quinta y sexta década de la vida, y son de tamaño variable. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino, de 10 años de edad, blanco, con un leiomioma a nivel de la pared gástrica, que fue resuelto quirúrgicamente con resección completa de la masa tumoral que comprometía gran parte de la curvatura mayor gástrica mediante laparotomía, pero el diagnóstico inicial y toma de biopsia se realizó por vía endoscópica.


Gastric leiomyoma is an intramural, extramucosal tumor that is mostly located in the upper digestive tube, at the distal third of the esophagus and the upper portion of the stomach. It may affect both sexes but it is very unusual at pediatric ages. Its incidence is higher from the 50 and 60 years of age on, with variable sizes. This is the case of a male 10 years-old Caucasian child, who had leiomyoma inside his gastric wall and was operated on through laparotomy to completely remove the tumor mass that endangered a large part of the major gastric curvature. The initial diagnosis and the biopsy were based on endoscopic procedures.

ABSTRACT

Los leiomiosarcomas son tumores del músculo liso que se presentan con escasa frecuencia en el tracto gastrointestinal. Se derivan del tejido mesenquimal y generalmente metastatizan a hígado o pulmones. Su malignidad depende de factores celulares, de la localización y el tamaño tumoral. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 82 años de edad con antecedente de un leiomioma gástrico, que acude con sangrado digestivo alto e ictericia progresiva, hepatomegalia y perdida de peso considerable. Los estudios finales concluyen en un leiomiosarcoma con metástasis hepáticas.


Leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, and drift to the mesenchymal tissue. Rarely invade adyacent organs and metastasize to liver and lungs. The malignant features depend on cell changes, place and size of tumor. The case report is a 82 year old male with history of gastric leiomyoma which he has had for the last 3 years ago. He was admitted for upper gastrointestinal bleeding, jaundice, hepatomegaly and weight loose. The final investigation reveals a leiomyosarcoma with liver metastasis.
