Gastroblastoma is a rare gastric epitheliomesenchymal biphasic tumor composed of spindle and epithelial cells. All cases have been reported in children or young adult, and as such, in view of the similarity with other childhood blastomas it has been postulated to refer to this condition as gastroblastoma. We report a woman of 53 years who has been diagnosed after realize an upper digestive endoscopy for peptic complaints, submitted a laparoscopic resection and followed without evidence of recurrence or metastasis 18 months after surgery. Therefore, this is the first case of gastroblastoma in the adult population, leading us to assume that is a tumor not exclusive of young patients.
Keywords: Adult gastroblastoma, Epitheliomesenchymal tumor, Gastric biphasic tumor
