Figure 1 Computed tomography image showing circular soft tissue nodule in the hepatic-gastric space.

Figure 2 Enhanced computed tomography images of the patient. A: Plain scan; B: Arterial phase; C: Venous phase.

Figure 3 Endoscopic ultrasound images of the patient. A: Endoscopic ultrasound revealed low echoes in the hepatic-gastric space with scattered star-shaped high echoes. Color Doppler revealed absence of blood flow signal; B: Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration.

Figure 4 Diff-Quik staining showed a large number of scattered lymphocytes with normal morphology under the background of red blood cells.
