Spontaneous Gastric Intramural Hematoma: Case Report and Literature Review

Spontaneous gastric intramural hematoma is a rare disease. Herein, we present a case of a previously healthy 28-year-old male patient who presented with diarrhea and diffuse abdominal pain of one-week duration. The patient was diagnosed with spontaneous gastric intramural hematoma post urgent partial gastrectomy for a bleeding gastric tumor. Six other cases of spontaneous gastric intramural hematoma are published in the literature; therefore, when encountering a case of intra-abdominal mass attached to the gastric wall, gastric intramural hematoma should be considered in the differential even when no cause is present.
