Objectives. To carry out the analysis of the first own clinical observation of the plexiform angiomyxoid myofibroblastic tumor (PAMT), which is a unique mesenchymal tumor firstly described in 2007.
Methods. The clinical picture of the disease, results of the diagnostics methods, principles of morphological research of own observation and accessible database of Pubmed have been analyzed.
Results. PAMT is a very rare mesenchymal tumor with unique morphological characteristics and it should be distinguished from Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and other mesenchymal tumors of the stomach. All cases described in the literature were considered as an accidental finding or diagnosed during the gastric bleeding. Our observation illustrates difficulties of the differential diagnostics and variety of clinical manifestations.
Conclusions. The presented case is the first description of PAMT in the Belarusian and the Russian literature. The case of observation for the initially-plural localization of PAMT is given firstly in the world.
