摘　　要：Gastric leiomyomas are rare submucosal neoplasms arising from smooth muscle cells.It accounts for approximately 2.5%of all gastric tumours,is slow growing and rarely causes symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort and dyspepsia.1 On imaging,they appear similar to gastrointestinal stromal tumours(GISTs)and can be intraluminal or extraluminal.Diagnosis is mostly confirmed by histopathological examination of the tumour.Surgical resection of the tumour is the main treatment option.Here,we present a case of laparoscopic resection of an endophytic gastric tumour that turned out to be a leiomyoma.
