Abstract
We report the imaging findings in a case of pedunculated exogastric leiomyo blastoma presenting as a wandering abdominal mass. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed a large, mixed solid and cystic mass in the peritoneal ca vity, Computed tomography clearly showed that the mass was connected to the stomach by a narrow stalk. Small bowel follow-through showed subtle extrin sic indentation of the gastric body. The mass wandered from the right to th e left side of the peritoneal cavity during various radiologic examinations .
