“…The differential can be quite broad and includes tumor/cancer, lymphoma, and abscess. Furthermore, gastric tumors and cancer such as GISTs may also present as intramural gastric hematomas or following rupture with extensive intraabdominal hemorrhage, which can complicate the diagnosis [ 2 , 3 ]. In addition, intramural gastric hematomas are uncommon since most upper gastrointestinal hematomas appear in the esophagus or the duodenum.…”

Perigastric and intramural gastric hematomas rarely occur, with most cases associated with trauma, coagulopathy, and peptic ulcer disease. Furthermore, hematomas in the upper gastrointestinal tract are commonly located in the esophagus and duodenum. In this case report, we describe a hematoma masquerading as a gastric tumor on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in a 54-year-old male presenting with melena. Initial computed tomography (CT) imaging suggested gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) as the probable cause. We performed endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with findings consistent with a perigastric hematoma, which aligned with the patient’s diagnosis of splenic vein thrombosis (SVT) and numerous collateral vessels communicating with the hematoma. Interventional radiology (IR) was consulted for further management, although we ultimately chose a conservative approach.
