51 year-old woman with an episode of hematemesis (vomiting blood). Endoscopy revealed this large, focally ulcerated polypoid lesion in the proximal gastric body. The lesion grossly resembled a leiomyoma. Biopsies demonstrated a spindle cell tumor, with few mitotic figures. Examination of the resected specimen confirmed the benign nature of the lesion.
