RESUMO
We present a case of a 55-year-old woman presenting with worsening shortness of breath and constipation over the course of three days. Initial computed tomography scan showed a large, complex abdominal mass with a vascular pedicle and possible pedunculated origin along the inferior aspect of the greater curvature of the stomach. The mass was further evaluated on magnetic resonance imaging showing an active hemorrhage. The patient became hemodynamically unstable and general surgery was consulted for evaluation. Mass resection was performed, and biopsy revealed KIT/CD117+ and DOG1/ANO1+ gastrointestinal stromal tumor staged as T4. Although definitive diagnosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor requires biopsy, prompt clinical and radiological recognition is critical for patients to receive definitive treatment of mass resection.
