“…GISTs are rare malignant tumors, with only two case reported in the literature after bariatric surgery according to our knowledge: one after RYGB and one after gastrectomy banding (GB). The mean age at diagnosis of GIST after bariatric surgery among the two cases reported and ours is 49.33 ± 3.67 years, and all of them occurred in women [ 13 , 15 ]. Contrastingly, the literature shows a major prevalence at the age of 60 s for GISTs in general ( Table 1 ) [ 12 ].…”

Unfortunately, accessing the excluded stomach is challenging because of the altered anatomy following RYGB.…”
