History and Symptoms

• Trouble swallowing
• Gastrointestinal hemorrhage
• Metastases(mainly in the liver).
• Intestinal obstruction is rare, due to the tumor's outward pattern of growth.
• Often, there is a history of vague abdominal pain or discomfort, and the tumor has become rather large by time the diagnosis is made.
