Five hundred sixty‐two cases of angioleiomyoma in our files on soft tissues were reappraised clinico‐pathologically. There was a preponderance in females with a ratio of 1.7:l. The angioleiomyoma could be separated into three histologic subtypes: capillary or solid (374 cases), cavernous (61 cases), and venous (127 cases) types. Five hundred (89%) occurrences were in the extremities, 48 in the head, and only 14 in the trunk. The tumors caused pain and/or tenderness in 327 cases, in which 262 were of the solid type. In 16 cases, small groups of mature fat cells were demonstrated within the tumor, suggesting the hamartomatous nature of these smooth muscle tumors.

A type of gastric carcinoma was specified under the designation of carcinoma with lymphoid stroma. Grossly, this carcinoma was characterized by clear circumscription, usually with a central ulceration. A histologic feature distinguishing this carcinoma was the presence of a nandesmoplastic stroma infiltrated uniformly with an abundance of lymphocytes and plasma cells throughout the entire area of the tumor. Sparse population of less pleomorphic cancer cell nests of thin trabecular, microalveolar, or primitive tubular pattern widely separated by the intervening stroma was another feature peculiar to this tumor. Carcinoma of this type was found in 4% of a total of 1041 cases of gastric carcinoma removed surgically. A high survival rate was noted amon? the patients undergoing surgery for this carcinoma. A proposal was made on the separate classification of this tumor from common gastric carcinomas. Cancer 38232443, 1976.
