- Abstract
The article focuses on gastrointestinal stromal tumour. A 65-year-old woman who presented with hematemesis and melena had a history of chronic anemia but no previous episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding. Gastroscopy revealed a submucosal mass in the posterior wall of the antrum and focal ulcerations of the mucosa overlying the lesion. Histologic analysis showed a gastrointestinal stromal tumour, spindle cell type, composed of eosinophilic cells arranged in short fascicles and a paler syncytial-appearing eosinophilic cytoplasm.
