Rationale:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors involving the gastrointestinal tract. A small percentage of GISTs may cause acute gastrointestinal bleeding, which requires urgent surgical intervention.
Patient Concerns:
In this case report, we present a 62-year-old male patient with who was hospitalized due to acute bleeding.
Diagnoses:
The patient was diagnosed as GIST with low risk.
Interventions:
The patient was treated endoscopically with polidocanol sclerotherapy.
Outcomes:
The mass was removed completely, and the patient was discharged at day 9 after operation.
Lessons:
This case indicates that GIST can present as massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding and urgent endoscopic sclerotherapy can be life-saving. The endoscopical intervention may be a good alternative for emergency.
