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.
