The glomic tumours of the stomach are exceedingly unfrequent, occur in the middle age, have a slow or very slow evolution and are small in size. Histologically, they must be distinguished from the more frequent haemangiopericytomas. Clinically, they are characterized by gastralgiae of ulcerous and haemorrhagic type. A personal case, which adds to the 7 ones referred to in the literature, is exposed. It concerns a woman aged 45, who has been suffering for 4 months from anorexia, vomit and postprandial pain. She was operated upon 2 years ago, and at present she is well.
