Abstract EN
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) comprised 0,2% of all GI tumors.
They are typically asymptomatic, but can manifest with nonspecific GI symptoms, GI bleeding, or intussusception.
The authors report a case of a 55-year-old female patient with hematochezia and a palpable mass on the left lower quadrant.
Ultrasound revealed possible intussusception.
However, CT scan did not show any signs of lesions or intussusception.
On reevaluation, the mass was no longer palpable.
The patient had recurrent episodes of hematochezia with need of transfusional support.
CT enterography revealed a 20-24 mm jejunoileal lesion.
A laparotomy was undertaken with small bowel resection containing the lesion.
Histological examination confirmed GIST.
GIST presentation as transient intussusception and intermittent GI bleeding is rare.
This case report emphasizes the rarity of jejunoileal GIST, its clinical details, diagnostic study, and treatment.
