Summary:	Gastric leiomyoblastoma is a rare intramural tumor which originates in the smooth muscle. Nine cases were studied with respect to their clinical, radiological, and pathological features. Six distinct radiological patterns may be seen, of which 5 are represented in this series. Most such lesions occur in the gastric antrum. Leiomyoblastomas are generally benign and do not recur following removal.
