| Core Tip |
Pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma of gastric origin is an exceptionally rare and aggressive tumor, especially when accompanied by retroperitoneal invasion and hepatic metastasis. We report a unique case initially misdiagnosed as retroperitoneal sarcoma, later confirmed intraoperatively to arise from the stomach near the pylorus. Complete curative (R0) resection including distal pancreatectomy and partial hepatectomy achieved favorable short-term outcomes. The patient refused conventional adjuvant therapy and received Huaier granules, a traditional Chinese medicine with potential antitumor effects. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenges of gastric leiomyosarcoma and suggests that Huaier granules may have a role in postoperative disease control. |
