Figure 1

(a) shows intraoperative photograph of haemorrhagic exophytic anterior wall duodenal GIST. (b) demonstrates a clamp across the base of the tumour for intraoperative evaluation of bleeding cessation with the use of endoscopy. Local limited wedge resection was subsequently performed with clear margins. Surrounding bowel can be seen to be healthy allowing for a primary anastomosis.
