Ileal Gist – Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). They can arise anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. GIST of the small bowel is less common. Clinically, most of the GIST present as GI bleed and rarely with intestinal obstruction. We report here a case of ileal GIST presented with subacute intestinal obstruction.
