ABSTRACT
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)
are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the
gastrointestinal tract. It is exposed a clinical case of
jejunal GIST from a second-level hospital in Mexico.
Clinical case: Female patient of 76 years, with history of
tobacco use (two cigarettes per day for 25 years), that is
referred to General Surgery due to a four-month evolution
of symptoms, characterized by abdominal pain, hyporexia
and urinary symptomatology. Physical examination
revealed a non-pulsatile, solid, non-mobile, non-painful
mass in the hypogastrium and right iliac fossa of
approximately 15 cm in length. Ovarian tumor was ruled
out, since CEA and CA-125 tumor markers were negative.
Abdominopelvic ultrasound was performed and reported a
solid tumor with cystic spaces inside. CT reported a solid
tumor of 9.5 x 2.5 x 8.3 cm, with defined edges,
multilobed, presence of some calcifications in its wall that
did not show enhancement with the use of contrast media.
Patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and it was
found a jejunal tumor, 210 cm from the ligament of Treitz.
Immunohistochemistry reported positivity to KIT and
DOG1, confirming the diagnosis of GIST.
Conclusion: GISTs are uncommon entities. Their clinical
presentation is insidious and the preoperative diagnosis is
complex due to the need for biopsy. The treatment is
surgery, but tyrosine kinase inhibitors should be
administered. Even in patients with response to treatment,
follow-up is mandatory due to the risk of recurrence.
