ALVAREZ, Marcela Adriana Duran; LOPEZ, Juan Ramón Gómez  e  GARIJO, Teresa Guerra. Gastric Adenomyoma: The Unexpected Mimicker. GE Port J Gastroenterol [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.4, pp.198-202. ISSN 2341-4545.  https://doi.org/10.1159/000453302.

Gastric adenomyoma is a rare benign tumor composed of epithelial structures and smooth muscle stroma. Here, we report an unusual case of gastric adenomyoma mostly composed of smooth muscle that was incidentally found during a laparoscopic intervention. On radiology, it mimicked an acquired hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in an adult patient, and pathologically it resembled a pure smooth muscle hamartoma. Complete submission of the lesion for histology was necessary to find the epithelial component and make the right diagnosis. As a mimicker of benign and malignant entities, gastric adenomyoma is usually an unexpected finding after surgery. The aim of this report is to analyze this adenomyoma variant in the setting of an unexplained thickening of the gastric wall, with explanations concerning histogenesis and biological potential.
