A giant jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumor misconceived as pancreatic cystic neoplasm: A case report

Abstract

Highlights Large GIST in proximal jejunum mimick the mucinous cystic neoplasm of pancreas by preoperative Computed Tomography (CT) scan. GISTs are rarely occurred in jejunum. The misdiagnosis of this case might be due to the proximity of the tumor to the body and tail of pancreas, and compressing the adjacent organ due to its large size.
