Presentation of GIST as jejuno-jejunal intussusception

A case of jejunal GIST revealed by hematemesis: Unusual situation

“…We managed it by surgical resection and started adjuvant therapy by Imatinib for three years. Our case was presented as sudden hematemesis; however, previous cases of jejunal GISTs usually present as intestinal obstruction [5] , abdominal pain [6] , or peritonitis [7] , and hematemesis is usually seen in gastric GISTs [8] , [9] . Hematemesis is a rare manifestation of jejunal GIST, which is valuable to mention to the best of our knowledge.…”

Vomiting After Admission: Intussusception Due to Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (Gist)

“…Neoadjuvant imatinib is useful for unremovable tumors or for those patients who cannot undergo surgery. Also, cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation therapy show good results (Kumar et al, 2018). Our case presented with abdominal pain that rapidly aggravated with vomiting, and intussusception occurred during hospital admission.…”

Football Size Jejunal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour

“…Patients with GISTs usually are either asymptomatic or present with nonspecific symptoms as bloating, abdominal pain, and rarely melaena, palpable mass or obstruction secondary to intussusceptions; CT scan is considered the preferred imaging modality to confirm the diagnosis, with radiologic features as; size >50 mm, heterogeneous enhancement, and ulcerations suggesting malignancy [ 3 , 6 ].…”

“…The annual incidence of GISTs is between one to two per 100,000, with slight male predominance, and a peak of diagnosis around the age of 60 [ 2 ]. Although GISTs are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the alimentary tract yet they account only for 0.2% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms and only 0.04% of small intestinal tumours; jejunal GISTs are considered the rarest subtype, with only 10-30% malignant potential [ 3 , 4 ].…”
