Most gastric leiomyomas are benign SETs, and an increase in size is not frequent, even in large-sized cases. Close monitoring with routine follow-up without resection may be sufficient in cases of histologically proven gastric leiomyoma. However, in cases of ulceration or size increase, resection may be beneficial.
