Abstract
A 66-year-old man was admitted with general malaise and a history of black stool. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a gastric submucosal tumor (SMT) which diameter was 20mm and the SMT was located in posterior wall of the pyloric antrum. Although the SMT became reduced in size, laboratory data revealed anemia. Thus, we performed tumorectomy and pyloroplasty. The SMT size was reduced compared to the size of preoperative CT. The pathological diagonosis was Inflammatory fibroid polyp.
We should not forget gastric IFP in the differential diagnosis of SMT bleeding case.
