Abstract: We present the case of a 74-year-old male patient who was admitted with symptoms of upper digestive bleeding. Endoscopy of his upper digestive tract found an ulcerated lesion and a subepithelial lesion in his stomach. Complete studies including gastric endoscopic ultrasound showed a mucosal lesion infiltrating the submucosa which was suggestive of early gastric cancer as well as a subepithelial lesion on the muscle that was suggestive of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Staging showed no metastatic compromise, so surgery was performed, and histology subsequently confirmed the findings.
Translated abstract: Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente masculino de 74 años quien ingresó con síntomas de sangrado digestivo alto, se realizó una endoscopia de vías digestivas altas y se encontraron dos lesiones en el estómago: una elevada de centro ulcerado y otra subepitelial, lo que llevó a completar los estudios con una ecoendoscopia gástrica que mostró una lesión mucosa que infiltraba la submucosa sugestiva de cáncer gástrico temprano y otra lesión subepitelial dependiente de la muscular, sugestivas de un tumor gastrointestinal estromal (GIST); los estudios de estatificación no evidenciaron compromiso metastásico, por lo que se llevó al manejo quirúrgico con la posterior confirmación histológica de los hallazgos.
