Bacground. Gastric adenomyoma is a rare, hamartomatous tumor localized most
frequently in the gastric antrum. Review of the available literature shows
only sporadic reports or smaller series. Case reports. We presented a
72-year-old woman admitted due to epigastric pain with dyspeptic
difficulties. Biochemical parameters and tumor markers were within the
referential limits. Diagnostic procedures (upper endoscopy, endoscopic
ultrasonography and computerized tomography) revealed an intramural tumor
prominence with intact mucosa on the posterior wall of gastric antrum, not
accessible for biopsy. Surgical treatment was performed with total
extirpation of the tumor. Histopathological examination verified adenomyoma
with focal low grade epithelial dysplasia. Cytologic immunophenotype was
consistent with smooth muscle stromal and epithelial tumor (CK7 and CK20 ++
immunophenotype). Stromal component revealed low proliferative index (Ki-67
protein immunoexpression level 3%), and p53 less than 0.1% in both epithelial
and stromal components. Following the operation, the patient remained in good
condition. Conclusion. Uncertain malignant potential of the gastric
adenomyoma in the presented case indicates that timely diagnostics with
adequate surgical treatment is crucial for an adequate treatment.
