Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Intussusception and obscured GI bleeding are rare presentations of small intestinal GIST. Here, we report two cases one 14 year old male and another 58 year old female who had jejunal GIST found on exploratory laparotomy. In this article, we discuss patients’ clinical findings, investigations and management. It is hoped that this report would increase awareness of such conditions.
