Abstract

Myoepithelial hamartoma is a very rare submucosal tumour of the stomach. For the first time Magnus-Alsleben in 1903 described five cases of this tumour. More recently (1993) Vandelli et al. published a review of the literature containing only 33 cases. Histologically this tumour in caracterized by hypertrophic smooth muscle bands surrounding diverse epithelial elements that can be arranged differently: as a simple glandular structure, Brunner’s gland, pancreatic ducts and occasionally pancreatic acinus. We report a case of myoepithelial hamartoma of the stomach simulating a gastric carcinoma.
