A rare gastric pseudotumor was diagnosed in a 75-year-old female patient. Pathologic examination revealed an organized intramural gastric hematoma, a highly unusual finding.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pseudotumors of the stomach are rare entities that can mimic malignant neoplasms.
  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to the varied presentation and differential diagnoses.

Observation:

  • A 75-year-old female presented with melena and a large epigastric mass.
  • Diagnostic workup included endoscopy, ultrasound, MRI, needle aspiration, and angiography.
  • Preoperative diagnoses considered splenic artery aneurysm, pancreatic neoplasm, or pseudocyst.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy revealed a gastric tumor.
  • Pathologic examination unexpectedly diagnosed an organized intramural gastric hematoma.
  • The patient underwent successful radical subtotal gastrectomy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of thorough pathologic examination for diagnosing rare gastric lesions.
  • Organized intramural gastric hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gastric pseudotumors.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical management lead to favorable outcomes.
