BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor represents a rare neoplasm that originates in the muscular wall of the hollow viscera. AIM: To report gastrointestinal stromal tumor as a source of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which required urgent surgical control. PATIENT/METHOD: A man with 61 years old was admitted to the emergency service sustaining hematemesis and melena. Endoscopy showed active bleeding from a tumor in the second portion of the duodenum, which was controlled by heater probe cauterization. Surgery was performed through a median laparotomy. A local resection of a 4 cm tumor in the second portion of the duodenum was carried out, together with a primary end-to-end anastomosis and a duodenal diverticulization. No complications happened during the post-operative period. Morphologic examination showed gastrointestinal stromal tumor with no atypical mitosis and a preserved capsule. CONCLUSION: Albeit not being common, gastrointestinal stromal tumors can represent a source of substantial gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Transfusion of blood products can not improve coagulation function. Coagulation parameters returned to normal two days after discontinuation of hemocoagulase agkistrodon.

A case report of a 30years old patient followed for portal Vein Thrombosis (PVT) complicated with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to esophageal varices. JAK 2 V617F mutation was positive, therefore the diagnosis of primary polycythemia was retained. This case report showed that it important to think of different etiologies besides cirrhosis while managing patients with PVT especially diseases with pro thrombotic state.
