AN ADULT CASE OF GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOR WITH INTUSSUSCEPTION OF THE JEJUNUM

Abstract

We report herein an adult case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor with intussusception of the jejunum. A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with epigastralgia.
He was diagnosed as jejunal obstruction on abdominal imaging. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a mass of the jejunum. Surgery confirmed intussusception due to tumor of the jejunum, and a partial resection of the jejunum was carried out. Histopathological examination revealed gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the jejunum. Although the tumor cells invaded from mucosa to serosa, there was no evidence of mitosis. We did not add any chemotherapy after the surgery. No recurrence has been observed one year after the surgery.
