Leiomyosarcoma of the stomach is an extremely rare malignancy for which treatment in advanced disease is hardly reported. Here, we report a case of a 48-year-old man with metastatic gastric Leiomyosarcoma who had previously received a combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel followed by pazopanib after detection of metastasis. The patient was started on trabectedin as per protocol and had disease control continuing for 17 cycles of trabectedin. His quality of life and absence of significant toxicities highlight the noncumulative nature of trabectedin and potential benefit in responding cases.
