Abstract
Only a few instances of giant gastrointestinal stromal tumors and even fewer cases of such tumors with intra-tumoral bleeding have ever been reported. This report represents a case with both giant size and intra-tumoral spontaneous hemorrhage. Here a 42-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain and abdominal distention of 5-month duration. The distention had fast growth over 1 month before the hospital presentation. Physical examination showed a conjunctival pallor and an ill-defined abdominal mass. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed a huge intra-abdominal mass with variable enhancements. Surgical exploration was done and a huge mass measuring 10.5 kg with dimensions of 32 × 30 × 15 cm was excised en-bloc with distal gastrectomy.
