Abstract :

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare neoplasm. Although they represent only 0.1% to 3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies, they account for 80% of gastrointestinal mesenchymal neoplasm. Here we report a rare case of GIST of ileum with liver and lymph node metastasis. Patient underwent resection of GIST with adjoining lymph nodes. After resection, patient was advised imatinib 400mg once daily for 4 months. However, patient presented after 3 months with complaint of bleeding per rectum. This may be due to non gastric lesion of high risk group.
