Unusual Gastrointestinal Hemorrhaging Mimicking a Rupture of Solitary Gastric Varices Due to a Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor with Exogenous Growth

Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors can lead to upper gastrointestinal hemorrhaging, which is usually caused by dimpling or ulceration on the tumor surface. While rare, pedunculated gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors outside the stomach can present as a huge mass with delayed complaints. We...

Sumario:Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors can lead to upper gastrointestinal hemorrhaging, which is usually caused by dimpling or ulceration on the tumor surface. While rare, pedunculated gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors outside the stomach can present as a huge mass with delayed complaints. We herein report an unusual hemorrhaging mimicking a rupture of solitary gastric varices due to a pedunculated gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor. In this case, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) was essential for tumor detection. An endoscopic investigation revealed dilated, aberrant veins and arteries in the submucosa of this tumor, recognized as solitary gastric varices.
