Sunil Kumar Singh, Arun Singh

Abstract :

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) are  the malignant mesenchymal tumor. Jejunal GIST are extremely rare. Most common clinical presentation of GIST is bleeding. Preoperative diagnosis  is difficult. Diagnosis is confirmed on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. GIST originate from interstitial cells of Cajal, which are regulators of gut peristalsis and are preferentially located in the stomach and small intestine. We are reporting a 39 year old male presented with abdominal pain, malena and anemia. On evaluation patient was diagnosed as a case of Jejunal GIST. Laparotomy and complete surgical resection of tumor was performed. Postoperatively  Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor - Imatinib was given to the patient.
