A Case of Perforated Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in the Jejunum as a Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen: Seong Yeol Kim, Jong Hyeok Kim, Dong Seon Park, Gil Su Jang, Eun Yeong Hong, Jung Sun An, So Yeon Kim, Ho Young Kim, Dong Hoon Kim, Ji Won Park, Il Hyun Baek, Choong Kee Park; Intest Res 2013;11(2):134-136.

Preoperative diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) in the small intestine is often delayed until complications such as hemorrhage, bowel obstruction or perforation develop. Such GISTs are usually asymptomatic and tumor perforation is an uncommon clinical presentation. In this report, we review the diagnosis, pathology and treatment of a 32-year-old male with a perforated GIST in the jejunum who presented with symptoms of acute abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a ruptured huge tumor with inhomogeneous density in the small intestine. The patient underwent a complete tumor excision and jejunal segmental resection. A histopathological examination of the tumor confirmed that it was a GIST. Postoperatively, the patient received medical treatment, using oral Imatinib 400 mg daily for 10 months without any signs of disease recurrence. Prognosis is worse in ruptured GISTs and in these cases, complete surgical resection of the tumor must be followed by adjuvant therapy with Imatinib. (Intest Res 2013;11:134-136)

A Case of Acute Colonic Diverticulitis as a Complication of Colonoscopy: Dong Seon Park, Ji Won Park, Seong Yeol Kim, Gil Su Jang, Eun Yeong Hong, Jung Sun An, So Yeon Kim, Il Hyun Baek, Jong Hyeok Kim, Choong Kee Park; Intest Res 2013;11(2):146-148.

Abstract PDF

Colonoscopy is a good diagnostic tool and facilitates treatment of various colonic diseases. Nevertheless, it can induce many serious complications such as perforation and hemorrhage. Diverticulitis has also been reported as a serious complication of colonoscopy, with an incidence ranging from 0.04% to 0.08%. A 44-year-old male with chronic hepatitis B was presented with general weakness, myalgia, and febrile sensation. After admission for evaluation, pneumonia detected in the left upper and lower lobe and treated. We performed colonoscopy for screening and found multiple colonic diverticula in the right side of the colon. After 48 hours, the patient complained of abdominal pain and febrile sensation. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the right side of the abdomen. Abdomen-pelvis computed tomography showed bowel wall thickening of the cecum and ascending colon and multiple inflamed diverticula at the cecum with pericolic fat infiltration and fluid collection. We diagnosed the patient with acute diverticulitis after colonoscopy. Thereafter, he was treated with bowel rest and broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics, and recovered. With a review of the relevant literature, we report a case of acute colonic diverticulitis as a complication of colonoscopy. (Intest Res 2013;11:146-148)
