51 year-old woman with an episode of hematemesis (vomiting blood). Endoscopy
revealed this large, focally ulcerated polypoid lesion in the proximal gastric
body. The lesion grossly resembled a leiomyoma. Biopsies demonstrated a spindle
cell tumor, with few mitotic figures. Examination of the resected specimen
confirmed the benign nature of the lesion.
