Abstrakt:	Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are one of the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Studies report the incidence of GIST to be 14.5 per million, with 18% being diagnosed incidentally. The most common location is the stomach while the esophagus is the rarest, representing only 0.7% of cases. The clinical manifestations of GISTs vary. Most patients present with bleeding and gastric discomfort. Some may present with life-threatening hematemesis or melena. We present a unique case of a GIST presenting as pseudo-achalasia and food impaction. (© 2023 The Author(s).
