Gastric haemolymphangioma is a very rare benign tumour. Pathologically, it is composed of lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. Only a few cases of haemolymphangioma have been reported in the literature so far, all of which developed at sites other than the stomach. The authors believe that a haemolymphangioma occurring in the stomach has not been previously reported. The patient was a healthy 68-year-old male who had felt light epigastric discomfort for 3 months. A CT scan and a gastrofiberscope examination revealed a well-demarcated mass on the posterior wall of the stomach near the lesser curvature. The mass was successfully removed by surgery. During the 18-month follow-up period, the patient was asymptomatic with no recurrence. In this case report, we discuss the imaging findings as well as the pathological features of this unusual case, with a review of the related literature.
胃淋巴管血管瘤非常罕见，属于良性肿瘤。病理上由淋巴管和血管构成。目前文献中仅报道了少数胃淋巴管血管瘤病例，均发生于胃以外的部位。作者认为，发生于胃的淋巴管血管瘤此前尚未见报道。患者为 68 岁健康男性，上腹不适 3 个月，症状较轻。CT 扫描和胃镜检查显示胃小弯后侧壁有一界限清楚的肿块。手术成功切除了肿块。术后 18 个月随访期间，患者无症状，无复发。本文报告了这一不常见病例，讨论了其影像学表现和病理学特征，并复习了相关文献。
