ABSTRACT

Objectives: Presentation of a clinical case of stromal tumor in the jejunum, description of its radiological characteristics, and bibliographic review of the topic.
Material and methods: We present the case of a patient admitted to the emergency ward with symptoms of lower digestive tract bleeding who was subsequently diagnosed, during surgery, with a mesenteric tumor with invasion of the jejunum. Finally, pathological anatomy identified it as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the jejunum.
Results: High grade gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the jejunum.
Conclusion: The presentation of this case is intended to discuss a type of tumor uncommon among neoplasms which may affect the jejunum; although it does not have a unique, pathognomonic presentation by imaging, it is important to take into consideration an another option among the variety of tumors which affect the small intestine.
