Plain-English summary
A 12-year-old male Maltese terrier was brought to the vet after a month of vomiting and throwing up blood. Tests showed he had a mass in his stomach, which was causing an ulcer and anemia. The vet performed surgery to remove the mass, and the dog recovered well. Twenty months later, he shows no signs of illness.

Abstract
A 12-year-old entire male Maltese terrier was presented with a 1 month history of vomiting and haematemesis. Microcytic hypochromic anaemia was detected. Abdominal radiography, ultrasonography and gastric endoscopy identified a discrete intramural mass in the pyloric antrum. An ulcerated leiomyoma was removed by a partial-thickness intraluminal resection of the gastric wall. The dog recovered well and is free from clinical signs 20 months after surgery.
