title: Incidental detection of a bleeding gastrointestinal stromal tumor on Tc-99m red blood cell scintigraphy.
abstract: The role of 99m-technetium labeled red blood cell (RBC) scintigraphy in acute gastro-intestinal bleed is well-established. The authors report a case of a bleeding gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) incidentally discovered on Tc-99m RBC scintigraphy.
