| 520 | _aABSTRACT: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is a rare type of soft tissue carcinoma that is usually found in the stomach. It can present as gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, abdominal fullness or abdominal mass. Endoscopy aids in the diagnosis of this rare type of tumor, Moreover, biopsy is confirmatory of the diagnosis. Surgery with adequate margin is the only treatment. Imatinib, a c-kit tyrosine inhibitor, is recently used now as adjuvant. Follow-up consult is necessary for monitoring response to treatment.This is a case of E.C., 73 year old, female, who presented with melena and abdominal pain with secondary anemia. Endoscopy was done and showed a mass on the stomach. Excision and biopsy of the mass was made thereafter validating the initial impression of gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Patient was discharged improved. Follow-up consult was suggested for monitoring. | ||
