| Abstrakt: | A 83-year-old woman with previous history of gallstone was hospitalized with intermittent melena of 1-week duration. Gastroscopy showed a protuberant mass with thick pedicle and superficial ulcer measuring 3.0 × 4.0-cm in the lower gastric body (Fig. 1. A). Biopsy of the ulcer indicated chronic inflammation without evidence of malignancy. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a well-defined and mixed density mass with heterogeneous enhancement in the gastric body. The final diagnosis was gastric angiolipoma. |
