The undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare type of mesenchymal neoplasm based on the absence of a specific line of differentiation under histological examination and techniques such as immunohistochemistry. Very little is known about the management of this entity, and surgery is yet the first line of treatment being other methods still unsatisfactory. We report a peculiar case of death of a 77-year-old man presenting upper gastrointestinal bleeding as one of the first symptoms of UPS with numerous metastases to the bones, skin, hemithorax and stomach. This case brings interesting reflections from the clinical, histopathological and radiological point of view.
