Gastric Angiomyolipoma Masquerading as Gastric Malignancy

Abstract

Gastric angiomyolipoma (AML) is extremely rare, with only 3 cases reported in English literature, all of which presented with upper gastrointestinal bleed, either in the form of hematemesis or melena. A 42-year-old man presented with upper gastrointestinal bleed, the source of which was found to be a large mass in the stomach, which was shown histologically to be gastric AML. This is the fourth but largest tumor (9 × 6 × 5 cm) to be reported to date.
