Abstract

GASTRIC NEOPLASMS are by no means rare. Marshall and Adamson¹reported 2,014 tumors of the stomach seen at the Lahey Clinic over a 27-year-period from 1932 to 1958. Stout²reported 651 tumors of the stomach examined in the Surgical Pathology Laboratory of Columbia University from 1908 to 1950. The vast majority of these tumors in the above two series were malignant; carcinoma was the most frequent finding, comprising 72% to 92% of the tumors, respectively. Benign gastric tumors accounted for 4.8% and 16.9%. Of the malignant lesions other than carcinoma, sarcomas of two main types, lymphosarcomas and leiomyosarcomas, together comprised less than 10% of the total number of gastric malignancies. Marshall and Adamson¹state that malignant gastric tumors originating from fibrous tissue, blood vessels, and fatty tissue are rare and were not encountered in their series. Types of benign tumors seen were leiomyomas, adenomatous polyps, gastritis polyposa, pancreatic
