Introduction And Importance: Primary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare subgroup of mesenchymal tumors. Gastric localization is extremely rare, and patients may present with abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass. Here, we present a case of gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor revealed by abdominal pain, which was treated with wide local excision.

Liver blood tests showed deterioration with both cholestatic and hepatocellular patterns (there were, respectively, elevations in serum alkaline phosphatase levels as well as in serum alanine and aspartate aminotransferases).

The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a budding grayish process which corresponded to an invasive mucormycosis in histology.
