Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tracts that usually arise in the stomach and small intestine. Recent studies, suggest that they originate from gastrointestinal pacemaker cells (interstitial cell of Cajal). In most cases symptoms are nonspecific and diagnosis is achieved incidentally after radiologic evaluation. Some patients initially present with obscure GI bleeding and are diagnosed after sugical intervention. We report a patient who presented with hematochezia who was diagnosed preoperatively with gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the jejunum by double-balloon enteroscopy and multi-directional computed tomogram.
