56 Years old gentleman presented with left upper quadrant dull-aching pain and Malena. No known comorbidities. The outside evaluation suggested GIST like lesion involving gastric fundus with splenic vein thrombosis in the background of chronic pancreatitis, having mild to moderate hemoperitoneum. ODG revealed bleeding like a GIST lesion.

Looks like a routine case, right?
Biopsy revealed organized hematoma mimicking as GIST or “Pseudotumor of the stomach.”
