A 38-year-old Chinese man presented with melaena and anaemia. Urgent superior mesenteric angiogram showed a well-circumscribed vascular mass in the ileum. A stromal tumour was surgically excised. The radiological approach to lower gastrointestinal bleeding is described, followed by a brief discussion on stromal tumours of the small bowel.
