Core Tip
Core Tip: Gastric plexiform fibromyxoma (PF) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, with limited reports worldwide. This may be the first case report worldwide of emergency surgery performed for ruptured gastric PF with severe infection, demonstrating the rarity of the symptoms of this disease. In addition, we noted that the patient had a history of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination before the onset of the disease. We also conducted a database search of PubMed and Web of Science as of June 2021, determining the number of reported cases to be 134 worldwide. Some new cases and experiences are summarized in this report.
