Gastroblastoma is an extremely rare biphasic tumor that typically occurs in the stomach in patients between the ages of 10 and 30. Only 16 cases have been reported previously. These tumors are important to diagnose and distinguish from more aggressive neoplasms; although numbers are small, prognosis appears excellent overall with complete excision, with only occasional metastasis and/or local recurrence. We report a case of gastroblastoma in a 26-year-old male arising from the pylorus and extending through the first and second portions of the duodenum. This is the first case to be reported from this specific location.
