Abstract

Gastric leiomyomas are uncommon benign tumors that occur in only 2.5% of all gastric neoplasms. Although often asymptomatic, larger or strategically located tumors can cause symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding or postprandial discomfort. Diagnosis requires a combination of imaging, endoscopic evaluation and histopathology analysis. Treatment is primarily surgical, with laparoscopic approaches being preferred due to their minimally invasive nature and reduced risk of postoperative complications.
