67 year-old woman who presented with fever, abdominal discomfort, an abdominal
mass, and blood in the stool. Upper endoscopy revealed a poorly distensible
stomach. Gastric walls were thickened and firm, with scattered focal ulceration
(LEFT). There was a large, deep ulcer (CENTER) which led to a large cavity
filled with fluid and necotric debris (RIGHT). This proved to be a
leiomyosarcoma measuring 18 cm, with central necrosis, communicating with the
gastric lumen.
