| A 70- years old female referred with left upper quadrant pain since about 72 hours prior to hospital admission. In physical examination the patient was pale, hypotensive, tachycardiac and a vague left upper quadrant (LUQ) mass palpated. LUQ mass and free intraperitoneal fluid declared by ultrasound investigation there was no history of abdominal trauma and with impression of intraabdominal bleeding of unknown origin the patient underwent laparotomy. A huge fundal gastric mass identified with surrounding rupturea retroperitoneal hematoma and intraperitoneal hemorrhage. No intragatric penetration or hemorrhage was seen, so complete excision of the mass with safe margin was done with subsequent splenectomy. She had an uneventful post operative course and was discharged at the 7th post- op day. A microscopic analysis of the excised tumor demonstrated gastric leiomyoma. |
