Abstract: Plexiform fibromyxoma (PF) is an uncommon primary tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, with a mesenchymal origin and a benign behavior. Herein, we report a case and provide a literature review. A 41-year-old male patient underwent surgery in our unit for a PF at the gastric antrum, after being admitted due to vomiting and weight loss. As illustrated by our case, the mean age at presentation is around 40 years, the antrum is the most common location and abdominal pain the most widely reported manifestation. None of the reviewed cases involved regional or distant spread.
