Abstract

Primary gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare neoplasm developed from mesenchymal stem cells, infrequently discussed in the scientific literature. Clinical diagnosis through endoscopy and pathology is challenging for the medical team. We report the case of a female patient with gastric obstruction syndrome due to a 10 cm tumor diagnosed with this disease by histology and immunohistochemistry.
