Paraclinical findings were normal except for a markedly positive D-dimer (4.4 mug/dL, reference range adjusted for age: <0.6 mug/dL) and a chest X-ray with right pleural effusion (Figure 1).

Notably, the walls of the stomach were regular, had normal thickness (<8 mm) and there were no signs of linitis plastica that could indicate a gastric origin of the tumor (Figure 2).
