After discussing the diagnostic approach to benign tumours of the stomach on the basis of the most valid classifications in literature, the Authors describe the symptoms and frequency of these tumours. They then report 12 personally observed cases, and in particular one case of neurofibroma of the gastric fundus, which was exceptional for localisation, volume and clinical course. They conclude that only open extemporaneous surgical examination can provide confirmation of the benign nature of the neoformation. Therapy must in any case be surgical: the extent of removal will be governed by the extent and location of the tumour, and by the outcome of the histological examination.
