Jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
Abstract
In cases of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, when a source for blood loss is not apparent from examination of the colon and upper gastrointestinal tract, the small bowel usually becomes the focus of investigation. A tumor with interesting pathologic features was found in a patient who presented with recurrent episodes of massive obscure gastrointestinal hemorrhage. This case highlights the importance of considering small intestinal tumors as the likely cause of obscure gastrointestinal hemorrhage in young patients and how a noninvasive test, eg, abdominal computed tomography scan, might obviate the need for more invasive testing.
