Plexiform fibromyxoma of the stomach, also known as plexiform angiomyxoid myofibroblastic tumor, is a rare benign gastric mesenchymal tumor, first described in 2007, which usually arises in the gastric antrum and affects adults. Few cases have been reported in children and adolescents. It can present with different clinical manifestations including abdominal pain, dyspepsia, hematemesis, and vomiting. Preoperatively, this tumor is usually diagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and the correct diagnosis is made only after histopathological examination following surgical resection. Most cases were reported from East Asia (China, Japan, and Korea), North America, and Europe. We report herein a unique case of plexiform fibromyxoma, the first to be reported from the Middle East, arising in the cardia of the stomach in a 16-year-old adolescent male, with a brief review of the literature.
胃丛状纤维黏液瘤，也称为丛状血管黏液样肌纤维母细胞瘤，是一种罕见的胃良性间叶性肿瘤，于2007年首次被描述，通常发生于胃窦部，多见于成年人。儿童和青少年中报道的病例较少。它可表现为不同的临床表现，包括腹痛、消化不良、呕血和呕吐。术前，该肿瘤通常被诊断为胃肠道间质瘤（GIST），只有在手术切除后进行组织病理学检查才能做出正确诊断。大多数病例报道来自东亚（中国、日本和韩国）、北美和欧洲。我们在此报告一例独特的丛状纤维黏液瘤病例，这是中东地区报道的首例，发生于一名16岁青少年男性的胃贲门部，并对相关文献进行简要回顾。
