Abstract
A 58-year-old female visited our hospital because of a further examinatoin of a polypoid lesion in the lower part of the gastric body pointed out by a practitioner. Endoscopy showed a sessile submucosal tumor with minimal depression on the top of the tumor. Upper GI series revealed a protruded lesion with smooth surface on the anterior wall of the lower part of the gastric body. Thus, gastric cartinoid was suspected at that time, and biopsy was done. The histology disclosed capillary hemangioma. Melena developed immediately after the X-ray examination. Two months later, this lesion completely disappeared on endoscopy and X-ray examination.
