A Crater in the Stomach?
A 60 years old patient underwent upper endoscopy for dyspepsia, in which a large depression was seen in the distal body, lined with normal appearing mucosa.
EUS showed an undelying large (60x50mm) hypoecoic lesion, heterogenous, with inner calcifications. It seemed to pull down the gastric wall, causing this crater-like appearance. These features suggested a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST). EUS guided biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
According to current guidelines, surgical removal (partial gastrectomy) was performed.
We hereby report a case a large exocytic GIST appearing endoscopically as a big crater in the gastric wall, simulating a traction type diverticulum
