RESUMO
Pancreatic serous cystadenomas are benign cystic lesions without complication risks. They can be discovered after investigations for upper abdominal discomfort because of mass effect or incidentally. In rare cases they are detected because of biliary obstruction. Hemorrhagic complication is very unusual.

Gastro-intestinal stromal tumors can present with gastro-intestinal hemorrhage, often with an acute episode of abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting. We present a case of a young man who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient previously presented with gastro-intestinal bleeding but several investigations like gastroscopy, coloscopy, Ectopic gastric mucosa-scan, and computed tomography were reported as negative. A well-circumscribed submucosal tumoral mass in the duodenum with maximal thickness of 15 mm was however detected by CT-enteroclysis. Microscopic examination confirmed the presence of a gastro-intestinal stromal tumor.
