An 85-year-old man with a history of right tonsilar tumour presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. On admission, physical examinations disclosed several lymph nodes in the neck and the axilla. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy as part of the investigation for anaemia showed unusual findings in the oesophagus (fig 1
) and in the stomach (fig 2). Endoscopic ultrasonography with a catheter probe on the gastric wall was carried out (fig 3).
