Title: Gastric metastasis presenting as an overt upper gastrointestinal bleeding treated with chemoembolisation in a patient diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Cord-id: trqoubxm Document date: 2020_9_7
ID: trqoubxm
Snippet: We present a case of a patient with known papillary thyroid carcinoma presenting with overt upper gastrointestinal bleeding from a metastatic gastric mass. The gastric mass was diagnosed through transnasal endoscopy with tissue biopsies, revealing papillary thyroid carcinoma cells on histopathological studies. Bleeding was persistent despite standard medical therapy. Chemoembolisation of the major feeding vessels of such tumour provided resolution of bleeding.
