Abstract
We describe a case of a 48-year-old Korean woman who had a subepithelial mass incidentally discovered by endoscopic examination. Endoscopic mucosal resection revealed a well-circumscribed whitish solid mass within the submucosal space. Microscopically, the tumor was comprised of sparse spindle cells in the dense collagenous stroma with several calcifications and lymphoid aggregates. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the tumor cells are negative for c-kit, smooth muscle actin, desmin, S-100 and CD34. Based on these findings, the tumor was diagnosed with calcifying fibrous tumor.
Key Words: Calcifying, fibrous, tumor, Stomach, Subepithelial
