description | Gastric intramural hematoma (GIH) is a rare disorder that usually arises secondary to another condition or intervention, and less often occurs without an identifiable cause. Computed tomography (CT), as performed in this case, is the diagnostic modality of choice. The treatment comprises conservative measures, a minimally invasive approach, or surgical intervention. We present a case of recurrent acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as a new etiology for GIH that was managed conservatively to highlight the importance of including GIH in the differential for a patient with ALL, a drop in hemoglobin level, and vague gastrointestinal symptoms. |
