Although the mesenchymal group of neoplasms consists of lymphosarcomas, leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, fibromas, neurofibromas, and lipomas, the lymphosarcomas and leiomyomas are by far the most important in both frequency and clinical significance.

It has been estimated by various authors¹ that sarcomas constitute only 1 to 2% of all gastric neoplasms. Our unusual experience is illustrated by the fact that lymphosarcomas have accounted for 14.3% of all gastric neoplasms found in a total of 5,183 examinations of the stomach made during the past 18 months.

During the same period, we have discovered five clinically significant leiomyomas of the stomach—representing an additional 4.2% of all gastric neoplasms.
