Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract but comprise less than 1% of all gastrointestinal tumors. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with lipothymia followed by abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock. A CT scan showed an expansive lesion in the greater curvature of the body of the stomach measuring 5.4 cm associated with hematic material in the gastric cavity. Endoscopy biopsy was performed, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of GIST.
