Abstract
The most reported manifestations of gastric neuroendocrine tumor (GNETs) are non-specific symptoms such as epigastric pain, nausea, dyspepsia, etc. Gastrointestinal bleeding is an uncommon manifestation in GNETs patients and only few cases have been reported. This letter to editor describes a gastric polypoid lesion presenting with melena which was ultimately diagnosed of GNETs.
