“…Moreover, symptoms depend on the tumor size and can be observed in other GI disorders and tumor as well, as seen in our case. Contrast computed tomography shows predominantly large solid mass displacing the surrounding structures, with intense peripheral enhancement, of undetermined origin [9]. Because of the large size and the enhancement, the can mimic colonic neoplasms (lymphoma or adenocarcinoma) as seen in our patient.…”

Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (E-GIST) are group of soft tissue neoplasm, which originates from outside the gastrointestinal tract and comprises less than 5% of the total GIST. Most commonly, they originate from the omentum, mesentery, retroperitoneum or the solid organs like liver and the pancreas. E-GIST arising from the sac of the jejunal mesentery, and mimicking preoperatively as a colonic neoplasm is very rare. Here we report an interesting case of a 55-year-old male, who presented with pain abdomen for 4 months duration. Contrast enhanced computed tomography was suggestive of right colonic neoplasm. Intraoperatively, to our surprise, the tumor was seen arising from the mesentery of the jejunum and was resected.

“…Nestes casos, a conduta cirúrgica é mandatória, com bons resultados e sem complicações pós-operatórias. A cirurgia também está indicada quando não há possibilidade de confirmação diagnóstica, pela indisponibilidade de recursos diagnósticos avançados (Amaral et al, 2011, Sousa et al, 2016.…”

Objetivo: Descrever um caso de apendagite epiploica em paciente atendido na Clínica Gastromed, enfatizando os aspectos clínicos, propedêuticos e o tratamento adotado. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo que irá abordar o caso de paciente com apendagite epiploica, utilizando para isso o prontuário do paciente em questão. Será realizada durante todo período de estudo consultas a literatura disponível e pertinente ao assunto, tais como: artigos científicos, livros, revistas, etc. Resultados: Paciente masculino, 38 anos, procura atendimento em 20/05/2019 com queixa de diarreia, febre não aferida e mialgia. Ao exame do abdomem, desconforto a palpação superficial e profunda em fossa ilíaca esquerda, não apresentando dor à descompressão brusca, sem outras alterações. A tomografia computadorizada de abdomem inferior revelou estrutura ovoide com densidade de gordura, com a dimensão de 1,5 x 0,8 cm, com a região central hiperdensa, na porção antimesentérica do colón, sugerindo apendagite epiploica incipiente, no colón esquerdo. Foi submetido a acompanhamento domiciliar com antiinflamatório não esteroidal e antiespasmódico, com evolução favorável. Conclusão: Nas condições que foram realizados o presente estudo podemos concluir que apendagite epiplóica é uma condição clínica incomum que inclui em seu diagnóstico diferencial diversas patologias cujo tratamento é cirúrgico ilustrando a importância do raciocínio clínico adequado.

“…However, they share similar histologic characteristics as GISTs. 3 Both GIST and EGIST are usually positive for a mutation in the c-KIT proto-oncogene and stain positive for CD117 on immunohistochemistry. 3 Furthermore, EGISTs tend to be found incidentally, as was the case with our patient.…”

“…2 A small minority of these neoplasms are extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) in origin. 3 Metastatic disease is generally limited to the liver and peritoneum. 4 Metastasis to the lungs, while extremely rare, has been well documented in GISTs, but not in EGISTs.…”

Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) comprise a small portion of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Metastasis normally occurs to nearby organs. However, metastasis to the lungs is uncommon in EGISTs. Furthermore, recurrence of the EGIST in a new location years later has not been documented. We present this case to highlight this behavior of EGISTs in hopes to better understand this rare type of neoplasm.
