A 36-year-old lady was referred by her GP to the Gastroenterology clinic with a history of recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain and excessive belching. She reported these symptoms had recently worsened resulting in a decreased appetite. She denied any blood in her vomit or stool and any weight loss over this period. On examination a firm irregular mass in the epigastrium region was noted. The remainder of her examination was unremarkable. |
