ABSTRACT:Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are relatively common tumours of gastrointestinal tract, most commonly found in the stomach. GISTs are generally asymptomatic but may present with epigastric pain, bleeding and features of gastric outlet obstruction. Adult intussusception is rare and the diagnosis can be delayed because it occurs infrequently, and its symptoms are long standing, intermittent, and nonspecific. Here we present a rare case of gastroduodenal intussusception with gastric stromal tumour as a lead point. Preoperative diagnosis was made on abdominal CT and confirmed by laparotomy and histopathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
