We report the case of a 67-year-old male with epigastric pain and weight loss during the last nine months. Physical examination revealed a hard palpable mass in the epi-mesogastrium. An abdominal ultrasound identified a large, heterogeneous and hypovascular mass, which compressed the left hepatic lobe and the pancreas.

We present the case of a patient under study due to ascites in which a mass located on the gastric wall was observed during ultrasonography. Further studies (upper endoscopy and computed tomography) confirmed this finding. After an ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy, diagnosis of gastric schwannoma was made as intense S-100 expression was found. Surgery was rejected due to the bad clinical situation of the patient and because the mass was an asymptomatic benign tumor.

We present the case of a young man with a hepatic mass in which ultrasound gives great and immediate support for diferential diagnosis.
