Abstract
Gastro intestinal stromal tumors of the duodenum are uncommon. We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the duodenum. Her complaint was melena.

Preoperative biopsy is not routinely necessary for a primary, resectable neoplasm suspicious for GIST. In fact, preoperative biopsy may rupture a suspected GIST and increase the risk of dissemination . The ideal margin of resection is unknown. The extent of surgery is usually a wedge or segmental resection of the involved bowel without the wide margins necessary for adeno carcinoma. palpable deposits Upper GI endoscopy revealed an umbil
